About
Glow Close seeks to move in the spaces that sound, namely music, inhabits in dreams. The indirect hints and enigmatic shadows of sound events in dreams manoeuvre their way through the course of this work, coupled with the sonic translation of the struggle to reach for depleted memories and sensations found in dreams. These preoccupations arise from my interest in musical imprints and retrieval, and the path of dream, as well as threshold states, wherein the consensus of experience breaks down, allowing perception and hallucination to overlap.
