about

There are two journeys to Under Observation. There’s the initial journey - the work is a collection of Liam McConaghys' time on tour during 2016. A year of sampling the same stock of tapes and vinyls, slowly learning to bring each one under control.

The second journey to Under Observations is in its depths. Less in terms of music’s tropes of emotional input/output, but more in its combination of hauntology and archaeology. A glacial journey through an earth of disembodied voices. Layer upon layer of analogue interference. It is under all these layers that the emotional pull of the work is found. A foreboding of a failed future among the broken melodies and a disjunction to our surface above.
