About

things that follow by Heather Stebbins explores the ebb and flow of anxiety and pressure around severe or intense experiences. It begins as a roiling sea of low drums, harassed by threatening, somehow vocalic gestures. Electronic sounds multiply and grow more insistent. You can hear the pressure in the grinding, creaking sounds of systems pushed past their limit, of large objects pushing hard against each other. Resonant whines emerge from the tumult, heralding a coming release. With them comes a space of breathing room, but it is temporary. The cycle begins again, with thunder sheets and cymbals, and then close-miked small objects. Stebbins has not only thoughtfully portrayed the feeling of intense personal experience, she has also given us a meditation on the transitory nature of experience itself.
