about

'S-21' is a baron, dynamic and haunting 23-minute soundscape recalling my personal experiences and emotions whilst visiting Tuol Sleng, or the S-21 prison in Phnom Penh. It uses field recordings I took there, and from Choueng EK, also known as The Killing Fields.

I assembled this piece around 3 years ago but never really knew what to do with it. Hopefully it can provide some insight to the chilling brutality that took place there, and serve as a reminder that human decency and respect for others cannot be taken for granted. It seems to be an increasingly precious commodity in today's society

All proceeds from any sales will be donated to The Cambodia Landmine Museum, another place I visited whilst in Cambodia. They do amazing work educating locals and tourists on the genocide and the effects the mass planting of land mines had, and still has on the country now. They support locals directly affected by landmines.

I would recommend listening on headphones, laying down in a dark room to get the most from it.

The artwork is a collection of photos taken of unnamed prisoners at Tuol Sleng.
