Thembi Soddell – Let Go of Control
Podcast
Thembi Sodell created a piece entitled “Let Go of Control” for the 2 Minutes From Home” series of new music commissions, performed by the Decibel New Music Ensemble. Thembi talks to Decibel artistic director Cat Hope from regional Victoria, Australia.
Sound artist and electroacoustic composer Thembi Soddell has created the piece ‘Let Go of Control’ for our 2 Minutes From Home series of new music commissions.
The work of Soddell resides in a zone or unrelenting darkness and the physicality of affect. Working on the nexus of musique concrète, raw emotion, and sound design they create dense and abyss-like sound worlds.
Watch the video and follow the score, which is created for the Decibel ScorePlayer – an iPad application to enable the coordinated reading of graphic notations.
We previously commissioned a piece from Soddell back in 2014 titled ‘Your Sickness is Felt in my Body’ as part of our After Julia project.
