Autophobia, also called monophobia, isolophobia, or eremophobia, is the specific phobia of isolation; a morbid fear of being egotistical, or a dread of being alone or isolated.[1] Sufferers need not be physically alone, but just to believe that they are ignored or unloved. Contrary to what would be inferred by a literal reading of the term, autophobia does not describe a "fear of oneself"[2] nor is it the fear of automobiles (despite various cultures abbreviating automobile to "auto"). It typically develops from and is associated with other anxiety disorders.[3]

Autophobia can be associated with or accompanied by other phobias, such as agoraphobia, and is generally considered part of the agoraphobic cluster, meaning that it has many of the same characteristics as certain anxiety disorders and hyperventilation disorders. The main concern of people with phobias in the agoraphobic cluster is their ability to get help in case of emergency. This often makes them afraid of going out in public, being caught in crowds, being alone, or being stranded.[4]

Autophobia is not to be confused with agoraphobia (fear of being in public or being caught in crowds), self-hatred, or social anxiety, although it can be closely related to them. It is a distinct phobia that tends to be accompanied by other anxiety disorders and phobias.

This piece was the result of a micro residency at Andover Trees United. We took readings from four different soil types to show how we as humans are effecting our environment just by the simple act of walking. As the sounds played via the process of biosonfication , we asked participants to respond with words. These words are the foundation of the haikus in this piece.

a reassessment of the nostalgic hold that music / film has over humans through the fictional lens of fake AI / Machine Learning. I approached various influential sonic and ocular centric  assets in my life and approached them with the mindset that I no longer exist but my machine self, my digital flesh , my binary chimera has been set the task to reassemble these pieces based on the knowledge of the parts in both emotional , cultural referential and composition . This is a special phonic reflective process of understanding the power of nostalgia, memory and influence. It’s part of an ongoing personal war that I have against nostalgia, which I acknowledge that this needs to be reassigned as a disease how it used to be.  The series looks at sonic logos which transpire into memory nests which frame life experiences and therefore become embedded and owned, by the listener.
