The Upside Down World, 04:50
With a Geofone, a 4-Track Recorder, Max/MSP and the Serge synthesizer, Huichun recreated her journey of accidentally entering two liminal worlds where space was abandoned, time collapsed, yet the worlds remained ceaselessly alive.

Broken Numbers, Broken Waves, 03:04
The mayor of New York City Eric Adams’s speech on immigration distorted and interfered by the numbers of “Refugee Arrivals” and “Non-citizen Apprehension” from 1980 to 2021. Primary data sources are the "Yearbook of Immigration Statistics" web pages from the Department of Homeland Security. The speech becomes more fragmented as the number of refugee arrivals increases, and louder as the number of non-citizen apprehension increases. An incessant fight between collective power and centralized power. A contemplation on how voices can be given to those who are voiceless.

The Conscious Ear, 10:50
This project explores the concept of the poetic voice, and how this is intertwined with the actual voice of the poet, which is then reflected in the voices of those who read their poems. In particular, it demonstrates how we may “hear” the voice of Emily Dickinson through the artistic voice that is audibly present in her work. Using data sonification techniques along with word and letter frequency data, Jess transformed a selection of Dickinson's poetry into a non-verbal, aural experience, based on the poet's individual selection of repeated words and sounds, as well as the relative frequency of these sounds in the English language. By layering this sonification with an actual reading of her poetry, Jess hopes to reveal the “voice” of Emily- which, much like the poet herself, is both boldly present yet quietly hidden in each of her poems. Both these sounds and the artist's voice have then been modified using convolution data collected at the Emily Dickinson Homestead, thus are heard as if they are occurring in Emily's bedroom–how she might have heard them herself.

Heart of the Machine, 03:06
An auditory journey into the emotional relationship between humans and the machines which are an intimate part of our everyday lives. Placing a field recorder within a waterproof case and then inserting into my washing machine, Jess recorded the internal sounds of its wash cycle, which (despite their gratitude for its work) they usually find to be distracting and distressing. They then created a spectral analysis of the most distressing sound, extracted its partials, and layered these alongside a remixed version of the overall recording. The result is a shared heart and voice, a collaboration between human and machine which rebuilds our relationship as it reflects our inter-existence.
