The Writing Waves project has been in the making ever since I read The Waves by Virginia Woolf a few years ago. I was deeply impressed and inspired by it ‘s poetic flow. I decided to create a new work so I set about the text of the book using a ‘cut ups’ method with a view to setting it to music following the ‘Circus On’ template by John Cage, but as I progressed with this deconstructive method I became horrified at the thought of disfiguring a great work of art, so I settled on the idea of writing some piano pieces based on the characters in the book. In time I decided to try a more media based method based on the waves ( piano music fragments) which I recorded in 2024 on my mobile phone. The film is set on the ‘portable art patio’ and connects with my Amerta Art Patio Instagram project.
