Creative Sound Project: Grow and Grow, Photogram

“I grow and grow and grow almost too fast for my skin and muscle and flesh to keep up, my
hands extend beyond me, and for half a second they almost don’t feel like my own, as if I had
outgrown the flesh and bone my soul is contained within, I am soon able to leap up higher than
could previously be imagined, and fall down faster than ever before, everything I do is done so
with a newfound haste that is so incredibly refreshing, I live now in total ecstasy, the ability to
enact my will with lightning speed finally allows me to feel free.”

Looking back at this exercise it’s interesting how similar a form it has to ‘The Shadow in the Purple’ a text punctuated by sound that doesn’t necessarily match the sound source directly but instead acts as a loose interpretation, an impression of what it is, as abstract art often represents complex emotion unpresentable by language.
