VCCA 2018

As a composer, sound artist, and researcher, I’m interested in sounds we perceive as “inside” or “outside” performance, and in the ambiguities that may arise at boundaries between them. I’m  exploring this idea in a set of pieces for solo performers and webs of animal voices (and their surrounding environments), called Doubtful Sound. Begun during recent residencies at the Virginia Center for the Contemporary Arts, these compositions reference my earlier interactive work with catastrophe theory through their use of time-based network structures as sources of emergent processes. This summer I aim to investigate animal sounds as emergent processes in themselves, through a set of sound installations for the EUC Interfaces project in Cyprus.
