Joy Moughanni and Julia Edith Rigby

Joy and I built this ephemeral paticipitory installation while touring the States as fellows for OneBeat, an initiative of the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs which advocates for musical leadership, arts-based social engagement, community building and global collaboration among composers and musicians.

We temporarily transformed a very small room into a seemingly expansive oceanic environment in which participants were invited to activate an auditory feedback loop with their voices or instruments via microphones which were connected to Joy’s amalgamation of synthesizers, effect pedals and production tools.

The installation became a site for auditory degeneration and regeneration, decomposition and re-composition. Viewers were invited to explore their relationships to self-awareness, site-awareness and perception. The work spurred meditations on listening, phenomena, and sense of place.

The installation would create an immersive experience where live and recorded sounds would interact creating a complex sensorial atmosphere. This piece was created based on the sound instincts that every person possesses and also thinking about interactions of present and past, creating an atmosphere of different layers of sound in space.
