To create the score we spent several weeks capturing film and audio that we then interpreted to build film and animation vignettes, which were then used as a visual score by musicians. Alongside the musicians, we rigged up our own bicycles with contact mics and used them to create sounds.

I took sound recording equipment along to document the trip and created a ‘scrapbook’ of bucolic sounds. From this I then edited together a series of layered soundscapes, and have also manipulated some of the individual sounds to transform them from the recognisable into more abstract compositions.

This is primarily an audio piece but with accompanying imagery. It forms part of the exhibition ‘Outside the Narrative’, shown at the Scottish Parliament January 2010 - an exhibition that raises awareness of mental health issues. It explores ideas of how our culture copes with deviations from the accepted norm. It deals with having to assimilate the advice of professionals, the media, family and friends, self-help websites, and it also explores my own instincts. Bird imagery in this piece is symbolic of human spirit; birds in formation can be seen as those of us conforming to societal expectations whereas those who fly alone are free spirits operating ‘outside the narrative’. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12517/172453/animation stills.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="237" width_o="1250" height_o="443" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12517/172453/animation stills_o.jpg" align="left" /> Bird drawings are stills from part of the animation in the accompanying visuals.
