GODDESSES is the third edition of a life time concert in 50 volumes. Each edition of this project is conceived as a site specific aural document of the environment we inhabit. The nuances of the recordings are captured and shared in the rawest form possible and reveal the many layers of conditions, memories, visions, and stories coming together at a specific time and place. I became involved with women’s circles in 2017. Some circles live on while others fade, but every encounter plants a seed. The ritual of coming together with women has become an integral part of my life. The smallest circle consists of only two women and the largest is The Singing Project initiated at Kunsthalle Osnabrück in March of 2019. For this project, twice a month I have been inviting women to come and sing together: not according to a score or in preparation for a concert, but in connection with our own voices to freely sing together, like a swarm of birds or fish. Every time we sing in the nave of the Kunsthalle Osnabrück, formerly a Dominican monastery dating to 1283, I hear chords and colours I have never heard before. Some women have referred to the nave as a womb. On November 18th 2019 I played this unique space to honour every women’s circle that has ever come together. The recording started just after 4 pm. The ebb and flow of city traffic accompanies while the music unfolds in a dynamic yet undisturbed way, including moments of sudden silence. The resonance of the nave is immense and creates out of every note a prism of frequencies. Prepared as a limited release series of 50 unique pieces per edition, each project is packaged with a respective physical memory of the recording. For GODDESSES I have chosen a piece of cotton fabric woven by hand in early 1900. Ayumi Paul (November 2019)
