Up Up & Away

Semi-ambient works combining acoustic instruments, synthesisers, drone and sampled textures.

This sonic caricature utilises open-source foley, engineered samples, and abrasive textures to chart the narrative of the modern "knowledge worker." By bombarding the listener with a frantic rhythm of notifications, the piece draws a biting parallel between the office drone answering to a faceless organisation and a society whose attention is in constant demand — both effectively performing indirect labor for global tech giants.

Through a blend of satire and slapstick, the soundscape aims to provoke a visceral reaction, whether it be entertainment or repulsion. It serves as a meditation on the digital tethers of the modern economy and the entities they truly serve. Designed to be experienced on a loop to fully grasp its cyclical claustrophobia, the work demands a dedicated 9-minute and 25-second listen. An auditory mirror held up to our digital habits: are we the users or the product and who is really being rewarded?
