“GW Bot creates her own language of visual signifiers through what she terms “glyphs”. These mark the movement of life upon the landscape, most predominantly represented through the gnarled silhouettes of trees. In Fallen Glyph II it was important for the choice of sound to complement the stillness of the print. The subtle balance between the quiet moon and lone figures needed to be reflected in its auditory companion. The audio includes nocturnal field recordings of insects, a slight wind, and orchestral strings. To connect Fallen Glyph II with Matins, Glyphs - Song of the Morning I continued the composition of a classical score. As the sun rises in the Matins, Glyphs - Song of the Morning ascending arpeggios are played on the piano. They are intended to follow the passage of the rising sun, as well as they the line of the hill. It is an imagined dawn chorus, as the title of the work suggests.”
