Performance for Boxcopy's Sound Offering series at the Institute of Modern Art Brisbane, 07/12/19.

Developed and performed on unceded Turrbal land.

My artistic practice is rooted in observation. In sound, for me this means intensive listening, examining acoustics (how sound travels) and psychoacoustics (how sound is perceived). Previously I have explored these through double bass improvisation and feedback/loop-based electronic performances, investigating the affective potential of extreme loud and soft. This performance utilises a classic 80s synthesiser and highly directional studio speakers, dragged around the floor, to highlight the layers of rhythm in a droning chord and the ways they can activate the space, simultaneously mirroring and imposing on the architecture.
