demo of current work in sound-sculpture, field recording and chroma-key video 2023
I began creating kinetic sound sculptures in 2017. These are assemblages of a variety of materials and recycled electronic components which generate repetitive, slowly-evolving soundscapes. In my work with these long-duration, textural sounds I became interested in how they paralleled field recordings or ‘environmental’ sounds, despite being made and recorded in the studio. I wanted to examine how we hear sound in our environment and qualify it as being ‘natural’ or ‘artificial,’ to encourage a connection with the spaces through which we move daily and experience them with fresh eyes and ears. In 2022 I created a series of sound sculptures for a variety of environments in my neighbourhood of Montreal. These responded to the sonic and visual characteristics of the place. They were then composited using chroma key into these environments. This work is currently in post-production.
