SIDE B: Suddenly I Feel Alright (excerpt) by Freya Dooley published on 2020-09-24T15:26:50Z Commissioned by Eastside Projects, 2019-20 Somewhere in the Crowd There’s You is an immersive soundscape of broken melodies and discordant harmonies. Layers of collected vocals, hooks, choral fragments and field recordings fall in and out of step. Voices compete for attention, drowned out by their own chorus. The work takes its title from ‘Super Trouper’, the earworm hit by the not-so-harmonious pop-group Abba and a song which has occupied Freya’s mind for a couple of years now. The ‘group’ is a force for belonging- simultaneously claustrophobic and comforting, embracing and alienating- and something Agnetha eventually retreated from entirely, to pursue solitude in the place of expectation. The work explores anxious moments of synchronisation and discord when trying to keep up with your own performance. Somewhere in the Crowd There’s You is a stereo remix of the multi channel sound installation of Freya’s solo exhibition of the same name at Eastside Projects, 2 March to 27 April 2019. — Somewhere in the Crowd There's You Frosted clear 12” vinyl with full colour sleeve and insert Edition of 250 Published by Eastside Projects, 2020 SIDE A - I was sick and tired of everything (15’) SIDE B - Suddenly I feel alright (13’)
