This is a project I have been working on looking into how digital technology has permeated  our lives. All the sounds are sourced from household items and computer devices and are created as they give off electrical signals while operating.

Interference I (L/U Decomposition)

Utalised

A busy Thursday night heard from the window of an Air Bnb apartment on Rue De Lappe, bars and nightclubs can be heard from end to end

Rue De Lappe

Multilingual sibilance mingles with the sounds of footsteps, suitcases and bells

Norte Dam Entrance

Sounds we may not hear for some time to come. Quiet chatter heard in the large hall in Notre Dam's main chapel. This observance is suddenly caught up in a flash mob of organ and voice as feet are heard hurrying to view the performance

Norte Dam Mid Rows

Dismay can be heard as a bystander is hit with a snowball by children leaving school. The outside world shrinks as the stereo field moves to within the chapel

St Germain Des Pres Entrance

A film of silence is created as the noise floor gets amplified by the vast cavernous space. This film is occasionally pierced by the abrupt sounds of doors and shoes which here have an abnormal presence

St Germain Des Pres Chapel

A trip from Bastille to Chatlet via performers, a ticket machine and metro rails

Bastille To Chatlet

Riverside Chatlet

A generative text and soundscape composition created using the Doric dialect and sound from across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
