Press Release PDFExhibition Photos

Untitled (Thoughts) is a multi-track sound experiment using phonemes as linguistic data, audio speakers and organic matter to explore acoustic, physical and sensory properties of sound, space and composition using structure, chance, tempo, volume, rhythm and repetition as devices. Phonemes are categorized by phonological or syntactical criteria into discrete data banks; each phonemic set has a distinct character or voice. The generated poetic/musical composition suggests language and communication as it is becoming or deteriorating.
