Analostalgia
Portmanteau of ‘analogue’ and ‘nostalgia’.
- A wistful yearning for analogue technology.
- A means of time travel…
I recorded and produced this album with my stepfather Martin Jones, who is an extraordinary sound engineer,. My instruments were analogue cameras, typewriters, paper, pens and landline telephones.

Analostalgia is a project that explores how using analogue technologies in our digital world enables us to time travel by connecting us through time, space and place. In 2022, I inherited two analogue cameras: one from my great-grandfather (a Kodak Folding Brownie 2) and one from my grandmother (an Olympus Trip 35).
In 2023, I took part in the Australia Council and Creative New Zealand’s Digital Fellowship Program and created Analostalgia, a textual, photographic and audio storytelling project.
