“In lieu of an environment that surrounds human culture, or even a cosmos that cleaves into three ecologies, picture an ontological field without any unequivocal demarcations between human, animal, vegetable, or mineral. All forces and flows (materialities) are or can become lively, affective, and signaling... This field lacks primordial divisions, but it is not a uniform or flat topography. It is just that its differentiations are too protean and diverse to coincide exclusively with the philosophical categories of life, matter, mental, environmental.”
- Jane Bennett, Vibrant Matter: A Political Ecology of Things

Written and recorded over a few weeks after walking daily through and around Galatea Point, on never-ceded Wurundjeri country along the Birrarung (River of Mists) ‘In Eco’ ventures into the vibrant agency of non-human forces and environs, still touched by human exceptionalism yet rapdily changing and thriving. The sound of birds flicker through each piece; currawong, bell miner and magpies call across dense layers of undulating bass and mist-drenched tones, water moves underneath and leaves rustle in time to the rhythmic echo of muted piano and wind-soft synth. Compositions curl into thick, rising peaks of cumulative sound while others simply waver and drift, entrained to the protean agency of the Birrarung and its surrounds.
