FEATURED ALBUM: Seen

by

Danny Barwick

(featuring the voice of Juliette Duguay)

Released January 2026 on Off Record Label

https://stilll-off.bandcamp.com/album/seen

7 tracks, 28 minutes

Seen is a sweetly uncomfortable album because it portrays male desire, digital loneliness, fantasy, delusion and hope. For a grey clay featured album it may on first hearing seem like an excursion. 

But it really isn’t. Musically we have a very gently exploratory electronic/processed sound. 

Lyrically, we peer into some private space with growing intrigue, horror and sadness as the various stories loop. The combination creating a surreal, neon-lit tenderness that takes what might otherwise seem a depressingly familiar narrative to many and exposes a desperate fragility and desolation. 

The artist, Danny Barwick puts the following in the album notes:

‘For the past two years I’ve been living in Montréal, where I met Québécois writer Juliette Duguay. During that time, she spent six months creating adult content, promoting it through an anonymous Instagram account of faceless nudes. She regularly received DMs ranging from pleading to aggressive, tender to absurd. Struck by their tone, she began arranging them into poems, using each message verbatim. Together, the poems form seven voices: different men reaching out into the void, their messages unanswered except by the notification ‘Seen.’

A huge amount of the impact comes from the beautiful, intimate quality of Juliette’s Québécois accent and delivery, her tone infused with an almost compassionate amusement, as if she were looking down from some distant place. Seeing what the men who are writing these messages cannot see about themselves. 

Suddenly the title, Seen, takes on a whole other level of meaning where, in expressing these futile wishes in typed messages, the writers unwittingly expose their tragic vulnerability. They get seen, presumably for what they are and possibly not for what they would like to imagine they are. 

Barwick creates a setting for each of the seven different pieces with a twinkling array of compositions; clever and accomplished in their execution and just peculiar enough to create the right amount of contrast. There is a lightness to the sweetness too that perfectly compliments the voice and seems to separate the speaker from what she is reading. 

This is a bold and fascinating foray into an online world which we all know exists, but yet does not seem to judge it. There is just an exposing of what is there, which is framed  somewhere between the words, voice and music in a message the heart receives, even if the brain is challenged.

Danny Barwick is a producer and composer from Melbourne, Australia, creating heartfelt, textural music that blurs the line between song and cinema.
