about

SIKAN I-III

Sounding and Remixing myth, ritual, space/time and personal narrative. Finding inspiration in the Belkis Ayon’s process of collage and layering with my own process of performing, listening and soundmaking. Working with field recordings, synthesizers, sampling and digital sound processing to contribute and reinforce the movements and stages of Sikan’s birth/death/rebirth. From transgression to transcendence. From water to sky.

Sikan once accidentally captured an enchanted fish, which imparted great power to those who heard its voice. When she took the fish to her father, he warned her to remain silent and never speak of it again. She did divulge the information, however, to a leader of another tribe. Her punishment was a death sentence.
