"After being initially drawn to the rhythmic sounds of the sea and the tumbling rocks, I wanted to explore that process of erosion through the slow breakdown and transformation of the original field recording. In my research I learned this type of coastal erosion is called ‘attrition’ - this word is also used in a military context when the strength or effectiveness of a people is slowly reduced through sustained attacks and pressure. 

"The response to the original field recording then evolved to become a reflection on the tension between this shared name of a natural process of coastal erosion, and the (in)human-made violence we are bearing witness to today."
