about

I was invited to make an artistic response to the Museum of Classical Archaeology in Cambridge, UK. So this here is an audio reflective journey.

What I found most striking when I visited the collection is the delicate ordinariness. Within the hundreds of plaster-paris casts of Greek and Roman statues there was no marvellous show-stopping artefact to behold, there was no big reveal. What there is, is a collection of extra ordinary human beauty.

These songs were created to be listened to in a public space on headphones and so I would recommend the following listening instructions:

1. "The gods of the city" while people watching
2. "Every contact leaves a trace" while walking through a park
3. "Small finds" when you find yourself tucked away in a moment that is small and beautiful and precious and ordinary
