About this item
'State Change' is an album that utilises surgical records as musical lyrics, combined with aural material produced with various accelerometer and motion capture systems. The album seeks to underscore the aural with the medical, ultimately seeking a musical manifestation of acquired disability.
Molly’s interest in disability stems from her personal experience acquiring a disability. At the age of seven, she was involved in a car accident that nearly amputated her left hand. Following the accident, Molly transitioned from various musical instruments to find one she could adapt to. More recently, this has led to engaging with various music technologies that fit her body, such as accelerometers and motion capture technology.
'State Change' showcases Molly’s experimentation with these technologies, with the surgical records as lyrical material and production and engineering support from Grammy-award-winning producer William Brittelle and engineer Michael Hammond at Figure 8 Studios in Brooklyn, NY. Guest appearances include Fire-Toolz (Angel Marcloid).
