Yesterday is a piece of sound art that blurs reality and fiction, sound design and script. Yesterday was made for a Late Night Lit listening party, as part of the Emerging Writers Festival in Melbourne in 2019. The brief for the evening was:
"What flashes of understanding, which moments of ecstasy and despair, what memories linger in the days, months and years stacked up behind us? From the mundane to the monumental, from last Wednesday to last century, the fuzzy memories of yesterdays and yesteryears will be brought into crisp, sonic relief by our stellar lineup of audio artists at this live listening party."
To work with that brief, I decided to examine my own relationship with memory, with the moments from my past both big and small, and how those memories live in my body.
Content Note: While there’s nothing particularly graphic in this piece, there are moments of it that deal with family death and grief, anxiety, and PTSD. Please take care of yourself.

Memorial is an audio drama vignette. In Memorial, we meet two characters who are reuniting for the first time in unusual circumstances.
Originally, this script was written for the RØDE Podcast Competition in early 2019, which meant that it had a two minute time limit. I took that as a challenge, and asked myself "Can I make an audience love and feel for two people they only just met, in only two minutes?"
The music and sound design for Memorial was made by the amazing Maize Wallin, who I very much hope to work with again some time. Find out more about Maize's work at https://www.maizewallin.com/
