about

"'A Place Among Pebbles' is a HNW dedication to the soft, small and interstitial moments of life. In some ways, it could be considered a celebration of the mundane - an emphatic signalling of the hidden significance in otherwise determinedly unimportant events and the loose bits of passing time that stitch them together. When you look back on your memories - do they gravitate towards 'large' things you remember doing, things you remember saying? The fundamental ways you relate to yourself and to others?

But do you ever find yourself recalling one of the many times you picked up a pebble or a stick as a child? Do you remember the way it felt and the fascination it created in you, experiencing its shapes and textures as something wholly new and unique? Do you ever find yourself re-embedded in the experience of gazing half-consciously at a sky of briskly moving clouds in the hazy twilight of dusk? This album invites the listener to consider memory and how the events and experiences of life have had an impact on personhood. Whether you choose to treat this wall as a chance to cast yourself back into memories, to ground yourself in the present with a new eye for the small, unseen and easily forgotten, to move forward to the future with such an ethos intact or to attempt a combination of all three - I hope that your response is as positive as my own was in creating this.

HNW has always been a meditative escape for me, one in which I may be attempting a timeless, mindless zenith but nonetheless find myself eager and joyful to relive otherwise forgotten memories and to re-identify the 'insignificant'. For this release I wrote a few small pieces of writing (poems?) and collaged some artwork and photographs that I've made in the past year - creating this kind of accompaniment to a sound-focused release has been something I've wanted to do with HNW for a long time as I feel the zine as a medium has a considerable advantage on sound when it comes to portraying particular abstract ideas."
