‘made to appear’ is about all of the emotions. love & loss, fear & joy, but it’s also about all those tiny emotions in between – the ones that don’t last, but you still feel. it’s about the space between extraordinary & everyday. the transition from one to another – it can be a split second.
this work moves away from the compositional style Jo had been using recently. it’s less extreme, less ‘noisy’, but with more clarity. the recordings are more deliberate, and the piano is the lead.
Jo Montgomerie is a producer, sound engineer & music teacher based in Greater Manchester. Originally from South West Scotland, Montgomerie’s work uses repetition, drones and manipulation.
