Bellow writes: During my residency at Wave Farm I will work on a radio play called one long rock song. I will use my time to create an event score for the play, organize field recordings and sound pieces, and listen. The script/event score will be comprised of different symbols as a citational method for place, event, sounds and story. This work will be attentive to my own relationship to stones through embodied memory and language. Through the play I offer my own experiences, songs, and memories, and dreams, to create sonic interference with the settler logics that reproduce themselves on land. My time will be rounded off with a broadcast of the play.
