Artist Statement:

Invisible Crowds is about personal experiences of space, particularly mental and emotional space. It is expressive of contradictory feelings of wanting solitude, but of also wanting company; of wanting peace, but of being unable to stop for long enough; of wanting the space to concentrate and work, but being besieged by a thousand and one conflicting thoughts and feelings. It moves at different times from repose to restlessness and back again. The sound material is recorded exclusively from metallic objects and the rich associations of bells, alarms and gongs are used to underpin the emotional states expressed in this piece.
