Dark Speech from Los Angeles interdisciplinary artist Geneva Skeen was first conceived in October 2014 and has developed over time to include recordings from several geographical locations marked by intense transformation: a boat nearly 200 yards from an erupting volcano in the Galápagos Islands at night, a cavern of snow-covered trees in the dark of Finnish winter, the end of summer in the drought-ridden Californian desert, a power outage during a heavy rainstorm at the San Andreas fault. The original recordings intentionally maintain a sense of subjective listening and human presence, while repeated cycles of digital effects push the primary organic materials toward literal transposition. Each work stands as a vessel containing a document of these intertwinings, an enclosed textural representation of the haunting and indiscernible darkness of attempting to understand the human self within geologic time and drama.
