Throughout time, ‘Space’ and ‘Sky’ had symbolized an unknown territory, a utopian surface to which we speculate and dream. ‘Rise to the Sky’ is an audio piece, a collage of documents reflecting upon the connection between the CAVS to Sky and Space practices, and subsequently its relationship to NASA.

Rise to the Sky

A 20 minute audio piece that explores physical space and its identity through sound. It reflects my journey in a multifaceted space that is characterized for housing the death, wild life, machinery and tourists, among other things. I perceived the sonic language of Mount Auburn cemetery in constant flux of rhythms and languages, debating between the rural and the industrial, between animal and machine, day and night. Interested in the hybrid quality these dichotomies could produce when merged, I aimed to explore the intersectionality, the mid point, or space of fusion between these dualities, hoping to reveal a third space in where the listener can explore a sense of otherness.
