The title Tell Me About the Outside is taken from the dystopian sci-fi fiction novel Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler.
Tell Me About the Outside is not a description, it is a question repeating itself in the material. An attempt to listen to what presses from elsewhere, what holds, what resists without appearing. Sound emerges in fragments, as if found rather than composed. It carries weight, density, a sense of tension.
Alongside electronic processes, non-electronic sounds persist: physical gestures, contacts, residual noises whose origins remain partially opaque. They do not oppose the electronic layer, but complicate it, introducing friction and instability. Surfaces vibrate, retract, remain suspended. The music moves by slow displacement rather than development. Each gesture is measured, each texture maintained in a fragile equilibrium.
Silences are active, structural, charged, not empty, but load-bearing. What unfolds is not a form, but a state of continuous adjustment.
Electroacoustic practice here becomes a study of constraint. Acoustic and electronic materials are treated with the same attention to pressure and balance. Sounds are not placed, they are supported. They persist in a field of gravity, where inside and outside negotiate through pressure rather than movement, through tension rather than flow.
Tell Me About the Outside does not seek to describe the outside. It listens to its weight, its pull, its effect on the system. A music held in suspension, attentive to the moment before release.
