What was your intent in making the piece?

It's a great question, actually.

I feel like as many of us watching the news and seeing all of the dystopian things that are happening in our day-to-day reality, I have many thoughts about them and I would like to express them in my art.

However, making... music and smaller kind of audio pieces it's often been difficult to express all of these feelings and thoughts that I have but also I've had this story in my head for years just the inklings of a story but it goes back almost five years now I remember thinking about this and having an image in my head of Sydney being like totally destroyed and and people living in the remains of what what was Sydney and I couldn't I just couldn't get it out of my head you know for years I thought I should I write a novel? Should I do something with this? And I'm so glad that Jesse Cox Audio Fellowship has given me the possibility to actually bring that to life in some way.

We cross live now to Canberra to the ADF press conference.
