The song of the nightclub cloakroom attendant (with lyrics written with an actual attendant) is the soundtrack to images of a nightclub on a Sunday morning. As an artist I am interested in the social and personal aspects of popular entertainment, such as music, comedy and storytelling. For instance, choral music has traditionally been a way of literally uniting communities in a shared culture, but in my works involving choral music, such as Lights Go On, this is often contrasted by a focus on an individual, socially isolated subject, and on the subjective, ambiguous readings that music can bring to any context.
