Here’s some music
Well I make music and live experiences to go with music. It’s my self-set mission to make JOYOUS work about our most chaotic moments.
I am a “sensory expert” cos I went down a massive rabbit hole in my practice into synestheisa, sensory intergration, crossmodality and sensory practice when I founded & led a company of talented artists making experiences for music, that’s BitterSuite.
I am joker. yet… I sit right on the knife edge between despair and joy. It’s quite the ride!
I care most deeply about radical works created by and for women. But I also love stories where we turn our deepest adult wants and needs into the worlds most whimsically and adorable ANTHROPOMORPHIC characters, mainly cos I think adults weirdly listen more to them than each other.
I love listening.
I love play.
And I love people.
I am curious to a fault and overwhelmed by the possibilities in the world.
I do not make sense
And I bet if I really got to know you, we’d find you don’t quite always make sense either
oi. Who are you, Steph?
