This track is a test prior to adding any effects.  The layers are built up with glitch samples from the raw date file of the image attached to this track.  The image is of an abandoned airport here in Athens where I am currently on an artist residency run by SNEHTA.  I am looking to eventually create a audio/visual track that will have developed samples with an visual track showing the image samples of each glitch. 

Any suggestions, feedback or ideas feel free to let me know.

Arrivals Hall Initial Test - Layers No Effects

First work form my time here in Athens working on some new soundscapes based on Non-places and Heterotopias.  These liminal spaces inspire the work both directly and indirectly.  Athens Arrival starts with time spent at the now abandoned international airport Ellinikon.  This transient space now sits dormant, far different from the liminal site of people arriving and departing.  The amount of passengers who passed through this non-place, passing over the threshold and crossing borders is infinite.  These sites give me cause for meditation and consideration about existence and place in the world.  The track hopefully represents these matters. 

The samples are found from the digital photographs taken of the spaces.  These are then collected through running the RAW data file for the images through sound software to extract useable beats and loops.  The works are then composed and edited to create liminal landscapes.  I intend to then animate the visual samples that you can see on the image on the right to work with the soundtrack. 

Athens Arrival

This is the soundtrack to an audio/visual piece U DYS HET.  This was exhibited in Yerevan, Armenia at the Modern Art Museum, MAMY.  

The work is composed of glitch sound samples from digital photographs taken.  The photographs were all taken in the parks of Yerevan.  The final work was a composition of the sound samples and projection of the visual samples together in the space.  

U DYS HET

First of a new body of work created whilst on The Auxiliary artist residency in Stockton-on-Tees.  Working with old glitch processes and adding new found sounds to create sonic works that move past my previous glitch compositions.  This is the first edit so will be rework potentially in future weeks.

Ear Lobe Stretch Test

I Tried Moving Iceberg's

This piece was created whilst participating on the Sound Tectonics workshop in Athens.  The sound work combines two field recordings, one of a laughing yoga class recorded in the street outside and another of police sirens whilst they prepared for upcoming protests.  I hoped to switch the meanings we associate with these two sounds and tried to make the sirens sound more like laughter/clowns and the laughing more like repetitive alarms.

Laughing Sirens

Frustrations of never ending pointless tasks.. Moments of desperation where there is no end in site.. The thought of digging through a wall that gets thicker rather than thinner for all the sweat you give.
