With Me, We Walk was released as a 3 day-interactive headphone experience, whereby participants received a third of the album each day along with spoken movement provocations co-written by Rebecca Riggs-Bennett and Ellen Hope-Thomson. RTRFM's Local Feature Album: Drawing heavily on elements from ambient electronic music, With Me, We Walk sees Rebecca blending synthesised sounds with organic, lush field recording soundscapes, creating a beautiful juxtaposition of the artificial and the natural. Self-described as “anxious electronica”, With Me, We Walk also sees Rebecca narrating several tracks, with several, touching spoken word tracks punctuating the record. On 'With Me, We Walk,' Rebecca has crafted an aural experience that ebbs and flows between luscious and calm sonic worlds to lose one’s self in. |
As a participant in the album launch, I had the opportunity to work though gentle and guided prompts, all while “visiting” these unique techno-worlds through the comfort of my ear buds. Facilitating movement, (quiet) meditation and vivid visualisation, With Me, We Walk reached my senses in such a distinct way, moving my body and my soul." - Album launch participant, 2020 |
The format of the launch wasn't one I was familiar with, but felt similar to a guided meditation through my own thoughts and feelings while being directed by the music. It was an indelible and undeniably powerful experience, and it was a true joy to listen and feel involved." - Album launch participant, 2020 |
