With her 2023 album “Manifold,” Sarah Belle Reid delves into processes of temporal perception and memory structures: tiny moments that seem to stretch endlessly; precious encounters that fade away; forgotten rituals; expansive afternoons; surprisingly short lifetimes. Sarah Belle Reid explores the collection, manipulation, and distortion of temporal moments through experimental trumpet techniques and interactive quadraphonic electronic sound. She employs feedback, looping, chaotic circuits, and granular processing. The result is a constantly evolving sonic landscape that is simultaneously intimate, relentless, playful, and surreal.
