'True Than Nature' invites the listener to focus on the intrinsic qualities of sound.
Ordinary sounds—those of infrastructure, labour, ceramic or concrete objects,
and natural acoustic phenomena like reflections and echoes—are brought to
the forefront through electronic manipulation. These sounds, often relegated to
the background, are now placed centre stage: This ‘bridging’ transforms their
essence, leading to a shift in perception that alters the boundaries between the
environment as we know it and what it could be.
'True Than Nature' wants to encourage active listening. Details about the sounds,
locations, objects, and techniques are intentionally not disclosed to prevent
the recordings from being anchored to a specific place, allowing the sounds
and their meanings to emerge organically—unmediated and immediate.
The
titles can be read as open-ended symbols; to act as starting points for personal
interpretation. By creating space for multiple contexts and interpretations,
listeners can engage more deeply, allowing their perception to shift and therefore
leading to a more subjective experience.
