about

Desired Place was created using electric piano, loops and effects after an attempted suicide in 2014. It focuses on a dark period of my life; yet allows for a feeling of calm, hope and optimism.

Minimal tone clusters were chosen and expanded for four individual parts that were looped and mixed live. Creating simple, repetitive and focused sound works was a welcome distraction from destructive and spiralling thought patterns at the time.

Desired Place was both a negative and positive space I wanted to be in during this period. The album is part of a continuing process of creating sound as therapy and a distraction for coping with mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.

"...once you’ve noticed its gradual motion, the gradual shifts and transformations that Judkins weaves become hypnotic and compelling in themselves. It’s like the fascination of watching a ‘plane arc slowly across a blue sky, or tracking a tiny snail inching across the garden path. So much so that when gorgeous, flowing melodies break across the gloomy surfaces of ‘Part IV’, the rapture that’s engendered is almost psychedelic. Is this the desired place hinted at by Judkins’ title, a place of consolation and recovery that follows the crawl through the abyss? In any case, coming after the monochrome numbness of what’s gone before, it’s a move that can’t help but thrill."
