‘Ebb’ employs the medium of sound to evoke other senses, triggering almost physical effects. In the absence of any material information or visual clues, its fluid soundscape, heightened by the use of audio tracking techniques, is activated by suggestive imagery and the listeners’ imagination as well as personal and shared memories. Nothing is certain or defined here. What are these sounds, sometimes like rain and at other times like flood? How do specific standpoints and subjectivities inform our perceptions of these sounds of water that are so familiar and so ubiquitous? These sounds induce particularly powerful associations with histories, struggles, suffering and solidarities that have been engendered by a permanent and inevitable engagement with water.
