Looking at questions about ritual and ritualised aspects of living, Float Sound Objects was created as a performance vessel exploring diverse and political ideas arising from the aftermath of the Indonesian tsunami in 2004. This is the music of that performance.

In a multitude of scenes, days and nights seem to pass. In the moonlight, a woman traces the spiral of life upon the ground.  Music is intermittent and the environment is omnipresent. Layers of micro-sounds are revealed: insects, frogs, birds, rain, and occasional far off thunder, all which come and go. Unfamiliar sounds, quiet and ominous recede into the distance. The music gains power.

Uncertainty has become ritual. There is tension in the air as we begin to apprehend the powers of nature, forces beyond our control. Demons of the sea claim their victims. We run and run from the shore.
