  • For Anna (Murder, She Called It)
    Nov 10 2024
    For Anna (previously titled Murder She Called It) is an immersive sound sculpture, born from a deeply personal journey through therapy. Inspired by a breakthrough session with my therapist, Anna, this piece explores what it means to confront oneself in the void, where guilt and forgiveness battle in silence. This soundscape captures the raw tension of self-reconciliation. Ethereal vocals, haunting drones, and fragmented textures echo the themes of violence, vulnerability, and the cold, honest work of inner survival. As each layer unfolds, it draws the listener closer to that critical moment of confrontation—the meeting with the self, in all its complexity. Dedicated to Anna, who guided me to face these emotions head-on, For Anna is an exploration of what it means to survive one’s inner turmoil and begin the process of self-forgiveness. Thank you for listening, and I invite you to reflect on your own journey within. DESC: “For Anna” is an immersive sound sculpture inspired by Monk’s therapy journey, particularly a breakthrough session with their therapist, Anna.
