Abstract

Memory and I am a survivor are two works from the digital recording/podcast 'Listen to Me' composed and produced by Andrée Greenwell. It is a collection of songs, words and music made in response to the current debate in Australia about gendered violence. To create this experimental audio recording, the creative response to this theme involved free improvisation by the musicians, reacting to the provided text/lyrics.

The pieces are improvisations based on text by Ali Cobby Eckermann. No musical material was provided, only written text. These two tracks feature Blackburn's experimental performance on sopranino and contrabass recorders - using the words, phrases, meaning, and personal emotive responses to provide a soundtrack to the spoken text. Standard and extended techniques were used to imitate and reflect the themes of domestic violence, survival and support.
