Helping People Connect to Their Emotions
Working on the Wavepaths material has informed my work. I think that it has affirmed a specific style of vocal composition that I have been cultivating for many years now. Specifically in relation to using the voice therapeutically, and creating music from a very present and intentional place. I would also say that my style of vocal work adds a human quality of warmth to Wavepaths, and hopefully helps people connect to their emotions during a listening session.

"I discovered NYX electronic drone choir at an amazing immersive event called Void. They create incredible textured atmospheres using just female voices. I had wanted to collaborate with them for years before Wavepaths, but once we were thinking about artists for bittersweet music for the system they immediately came to mind for vocals. Sian their lead composer provided some unbelievably emotional vocals for a very powerful piece which I collaborated on with her. By the end of the piece it builds to a truly vast sounding operatic climax. Many people have reported this piece being incredibly emotional for them."

Expressive + Creative Freedom
Working for Wavepaths offers a nice balance between creative liberty and the focus of a specific goal. Within Wavepaths I feel I can utilise the side of myself that is expressive and creative, while not taking the kind of unhealthy possession of the outcome that can come with live performance or releasing on traditional formats. This is a kind of freedom, too.
