The ambient soundscape by John Irvin captures the essence of a summer day at a grandparent's house—something eternally lost and irretrievable. It offers a glimpse into sounds that might or might not be real, reflecting the fragmented nature of memory and the deep sense of longing and loss. Sounds of home and earlier inspirations become fainter as one gets older, and in the search for an identity rooted in the present, it’s tempting to cling to these illusions. This nostalgia is used as an anchor to tie the artist to a past, in order to make up for a lack of foundation in a new place, amongst strangers in an unfamiliar space. In this way, the soundscape is a security blanket of memories, keeping them safe from the world outside.

“Summer Night I’ve created, this piece incorporates performative art. During the hours spent drawing to create this disap pearing borders, I denied myself the act of remembering and reflecting on the past. Whenever my mind would lead me to any memories, I would stop myself and focus on the present moment. This practice, similar to meditation, serves as a meta-form of avoid ing both sweet and painful memories of home, childhood, and the inability to return there.”
