Grace is the beautiful result of a covalent bond forged between Frye and Liyou, with the boundary lines blurred and fingerprints overlapping throughout the piece's duration. The duo swapped files and ideas throughout 2020 and 2021, continuously editing and resculpting a wide range of stem audio files and source sounds into the four-part piece. Flashes of mundane and momentous memories rub up against confused robotic text-to-speech snippets and shimmering processed noises. This piece is a substantial realization of both artists' worlds, and sees their approaches coming together to create something complementary and fresh, that neither could have made alone. Grace is a piece about tackling life's messy and winding path, inspired by anits erratic mix of fear and love. (Tristan Bath)
