"Scribbly Gums is a collection of memories. I use specific recollections as a creative spark in my explorations of time and place and the associated tactile and sensory reactions and remembrances. Scribbly Gums encompasses various childhood memories in the outer suburbs of Meanjin/Brisbane and some more recent memories in Naarm/Melbourne and also Kingaroy/Wakka Wakka country. These various memories are connected within a larger web of memoryscapes, a type of autobiographical aural map.

There are two main layers to the process of creating these pieces. Specific memories fuel the creation of raw musical materials via flute explorations or in the case of the interludes, through field recordings. This is then manipulated, reordered, and tinkered with, mostly through a type of collage. This process, for both performance-driven and sampled recordings, reflects the amorphous nature of memory, where memories are reframed, recontextualised, and re-remembered to fit the present. I feel that sound is an artform uniquely positioned to capture the fluid, temporal, and ephemeral nature of memory.

I play on a one-keyed baroque flute as I find it more nuanced and tactile than its modern day equivalent and capable of a rich array of pitch and articulation possibilities. "
