In less than a few weeks, I will self-release a new collection of electronic and found sound works entitled ‘Slenderman’ (yes, after the internet meme); not just because this character fascinates me on a personal level, but it in part reflects our brief, largely superficial connections to each other and to ourselves via machines. The mythology built up around Slenderman is in one instant both terrifying and arbitrary. It amazes me that a loose tapestry of an uncountable number of imaginations, each weave limited and filtered by its artificial interface with another, could invoke very real emotions. Each track in the release was constructed with this interface in mind.
