My sound installation was composed from field recordings, detuned piano, modular and software synthesizers, and found objects. Created over a period of 5 days preceding the exhibition, the pieces were largely improvised and layered in long takes. A (re)mixed stereo version of the work was released as Cyclical Traces.
This large sculptural form was created by the artist from reclaimed lumber scraps, discarded clothing and recycled inner tubes. The work occupied the new Portland art space, Building5, for a week in June, 2021. A 6.1 speaker system surrounded the woven shape, and listeners could rest inside or wander through the space. Several artists were invited to contribute multichannel sound for a limited duration.
