About
In my work, I articulate auditory connections between different kinds of spatialities through site-responsive approaches. I am specifically interested in overlaps between mechanisms of perception and musical, architectural, and other spaces that open up through fictionalisation, contextualisation, and signification. In projecting fixed-media works into architectural space, I address the sites of listening through both abstraction and concretisation, which I navigate via the central theme of fiction.
Most of my works are renderings of fictional scenarios as perceived through the auditory sensations and perceptual apparatus of an imaginary listener situated in the scene. For the production of these narrative fictionalisations, I use techniques such as architectural re-amplification, live sound diffusion, field recording, digital sound programming, and psychoacoustic phenomena.
With these approaches, I address the oscillations and overlaps occurring between the multitude of spaces that emerge through the musical material and its form, the physical space, and practices of signification, identification, and contextualisation. I project these spaces into eachother through site-responsive loudspeaker setups, using techniques of sound diffusion and leveraging acoustic phenomena and psychoacoustics.
Always accompanied by questions of spatiality and scale within the structures of signification in perceptual processes, my works are articulations of a rupture in these structures. This rupture is not some collateral damage of a fragmentation through representation, contextualisation, and signification, but rather the constitutive element for these processes. In that sense, rupture functions as an interface for relation. This notion of rupture is a driving element for my compositional, performative, and textual approaches, conceptually and aesthetically tying together my works and the specific articulations of each piece.
