ABOUT THE EVENT
Winter Rest is a sound-based meditation event: a quiet, gentle space for you to bring your thoughts, reflections, prayers and dreams as we consider wilderness and promised lands.
Or it can just simply be a time for you to rest.
The sounds provided will be inspired by nature and will be simple and quiet.
The sound environment will be interspersed with a few very short readings. The meditation will last about an hour after the welcome.
This is your space so you might want to bring a mat and cushions to lie on, a notebook or paper to write or draw on or in, a book to dip into, a favourite stone to hold, or whatever makes you comfortable. Attend for as long or as little as you like and please feel free to move around the sanctuary quietly.
If you fall asleep that's a compliment.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Daniel Thomas Freeman is an artist working at the edges of sound, music and film. He is currently a postgraduate researcher in Sound Arts at the University of Arts London.
In recent years he has become more and more interested in frequencies, textures, slow change art, less-bound structures, spirituality and investigations into the alchemical nature of sound.
Daniel is currently working to research, develop, contextualise, perform, exhibit and release his current work in progress,
Strange Weather Documents. Using analogue and digital synthesizer electronics, he has created hundreds of recordings of imagined futures of insect rhythms, birdsong, weather environments and Aeolian-like instruments as a critique and meditative lament of human impact on the climate.
