This video work was made in a one-bedroom apartment during lockdown in Narrm/Melbourne. In it, a series of moths are read like braille to compose an accompanying score. The music traces the path of the moths as they were found in pantry traps, transferring the configuration of forms into notes placed on a stave. The mass grave of moths become literal markers, like holes punched into scroll piano sheet music, and are digitally performed by a violoncello, piano and contrabass.
