About the artists: What Mykel Boyd and seah (Chelsea Heikes) have in common when forming their collaborative artist group, post doom romance, is a keen eye and ear for textures. In both sound and image, they have been solo artists working both in the music industry and the fine arts world. Together, they produce sound, video, and still image compositions that are sensitively layered and textural. Their aesthetic is such that they do not heavy-handedly depict. Rather, they ruminate together in the feeling space of both literary and physical spaces, building their aural and visual language through subtle layering of manipulated field recordings. In November of 2021 post doom romance started “prairie transmissions”, a 13 part audio/visual cycle through 11 months, exploring the inner / outer vibrations of the landscape we inhabit. These recordings were captured, processed, layered, manipulated and composed in the prairies around our home over the course of one year. This cycle takes the listener through our audio landscape filtered through our ears. A document of time / space / feeling. An attempt to witness the land, its memories, vibrations and gradient shifts. A transmission from where we are, to where you are.
