about

'Distend (Version) is a collaboratively produced audio piece by Ashley Holmes and Seekersinternational.

It expands on a shared interest in sonic fiction and the deconstructive practices of dub music and versioning to explore cultural memory. The work references the earthquake and landslides that struck Port Royal, Jamaica in 1692, reimagining the submerged landscapes and mythologies, connecting Afrodiasporic aural traditions and the natural world.

Distend considers the embedded soundings that remain encoded in objects, recordings, architectural spaces, technology and memory – a subterranean excavation voicing body and voicing dread, through and from echoing vessels. The collaboration sees new version of a work originally made by Ashley Holmes and commissioned by Yorkshire Sculpture International, presented at Leeds Art Gallery in 2021'
