  <title>Some soft thing softly stirring soon to stir no more</title>
  <description>Scratchy Bottom beach, Dorset, England reimagined by Violetta Suvini.

"I studied modern languages at university, and specialised in Samuel Beckett, an author who regarded sound as architecture in a similar way to how field recordings construct and preserve a space and time from within the capacity of a mic feed. 

"For this project, I wanted to play around with the idea of using a section of a Beckett text as a graphic score. I chose Company, a novella from 1947, which repeats specific cells of words, phrases and syllabic rhythms throughout, creating a tapestry of associations which shifts and shimmers. 

"From a section of the text I particularly like, I converted the structures of the repeated phrases into harmonic motifs, before filling out the rest of the musical architecture with a wash of sounds I personally associate with the sea, such as church bells and cicada-like buzzing. 

"The crackles and fizzes towards the end are meant as reference to the habit of auto-disintegration that Beckett practiced in his prose; pinpricks in an edifice of sound. Thanks to Cities and Memory for letting me experiment with this one!"</description>
