The hour-long performance is a collaboration between Jocelyn Brett and Ushara Dilrukshan. Ushara builds a shifting soundscape from acoustic and electronic sources, using creative coding and live instrumentation.
As Jocelyn moves and draws with chalk, she reacts to the evolving sound. The floor, fitted with contact microphones, captures her movements and feeds them into SuperCollider, where they are transformed in real time—creating an intricate, physical–sonic interplay.
Performed live at Strange Brew, Bristol (2024) by Jocelyn Brett and Ushara Dilrukshan, and filmed by Hannah Surhato.

When my body died, I was stolen, tied to an earth that is not my own, milk and honey turn to ash and bone in the mouth, bound by soil and by sound, we pay our way to rest, to sell our soul soil to the next.
neither here nor there,
stitched between the veils of existence.
The air thickens with forsaken melodies. A symphony of dissonance. Time, the erratic dancer weaves threads of perpetual uncertainty. Inhabitants of Sphere, phantoms of a shared delusion.
Together, we worked beneath skies draped in bruised hues, each drop of sweat our sacrament toward the promise of absolution. Our labour, a cosmic exchange, we readied our nurtured soil for trade, bartering passage to the next sanctuary. A planet of limbo, caught in the flux, harboured the migration of souls in transcendental flow.
