This recording is made out of a one second sample of a seagull captured at Old Portsmouth, England in 2007.
Fathoms is a sonic journey which embodies the notion of communication through the medium of the sea. It unfolds with the sounds of waves lapping on the shoreline of Portsmouth beach and continues on a journey far out into the wide ocean on a boat. The vessel’s sonar rig can be heard bleeping quietly in the background and then gradually increasing in volume as it begins to detect an object in the water. The image on the screen darts around rapidly and it is unclear what lurks below. Suddenly you are plunged deep into the cold, dark water and after a spate of confusion and panic, calm prevails as you are met by a host whales which majestically soar into the depth.

Fathoms - Sample Composition

This sound was made from a sound recording of a voice that has been time-stretched 800%. The intonation can be heard clearly which gives a distinctive drone sound. The intonation makes me visualize a spitfire.

DDLTrunks

I wanted to experiment with putting sound design in music. I used a picture from deviantart for inspiration. All the sounds were created by myself from things around the house.

Dead End

I made this piece for the Vox Novus 2008 competition. The theme in the music was an echo of itself - I recorded the process of making the music - i.e. clicking the mouse, printing to create the piece.
