Garlic Behaviour is a durational work composed of processed field recordings, text and discarded furniture. The work grew out of a group started during the initial wave of the pandemic. Consisting of geographically distant members spanning several time zones, the group shared daily sound recordings with each other which culminated in individually edited sound works. Shared at a listening session each week, the group's activities became a way of sampling and processing the sudden disorientating and disconcerting social conditions they found themselves collectively subjected to. The work was developed in locked-down space, where time is felt to simultaneously move while on hold. It asks whether it is possible to occupy this space, a newly felt present between time zones, where conditioned perceptions of time and progress are rearranged and augmented. What is heard in this interstice? What music resonates here? What becomes reconfigured in this accumulation of hours that is also no time at all?
