Nest

Nest. A day off Author: Abby Lee Tee, 2022 The sounds of privileged life in a small, cosy flat while a crisis after another exacerbating in the outside world. Very close encounters with gurgling stomachs, diligent small critters, dishwashers, washing machines, moka pots, tea kettles and a hailstorm on the other side of the windows. Sound piece commissioned by SEMI SILENT in the frame of SONIC FUTURE RESIDENCIES 2022. Abby Lee Tee is an austrian musician, sound designer & field recordist. His fascination for the divisions and crossovers between noise and music, as well as nature and culture, can be seen in his work with installations, sound-walks, sound design for theatre and audiovisual projects, as well as records on labels such as Shash, Czaszka, Never Anything, Vertical Music, Falt, Dinzu Artefacts and Accidental. Since 2020, he’s researching beavers and their vocalizations, winning the “Sound of the Year” Awards in the category “Best Naturally Occuring Sound” as well as the “Boughton Fieldcraft” Award by the Wildlife Sound Recording Society. https://abbyleetee.com Recordings and composition by Abby Lee Tee for SEMI SILENT.
