Dissolving Edges

I wander my way, into a physical encounter of dynamic relationships between sounds, steps, space and I listen.

”It emanates, propagates, communicates, vibrates, and agitates…binds and unhinges, harmonizes and traumatizes”[1]

My body drifts around the dissolving edges.

The hidden path I follow offers a relaxing stroll, a line etched upon an industrial sprawl. Listen! I hear the distant radios reverberate against the background birdsong beat. A chorus line recites the clanging devices, versus children voices.In the distance, melodies of sweet sirens occasionally disrupted by a rare rustle of the wild.

I am here…

The dee in Dundee

The dee in Dundee is to donder,

doon disappearing lines ta discover.

Dinnae greet, nae awthing dreich!

Tough is oor fabric, nae jam but traffic.

Streets fu o’ signs… in oor time,

hae a wee look, fae trams ta drams

and dae the dee… in donder.
