The skin of the sonic palette pulled through space is stretched jazz. Information Adjustment, an ongoing performance/installation, finds itself inside the archipelago of afrofuturism, pessimism and surrealism. I am interested in the surreal and abstraction of the current state of black being, and how worlds can be iterated and abstracted to create an environment that encourages gestural exploration. The cybernetics are inherent in my ritual use of electro-acoustic instrumentation.
When I make sonic environments, my goal is to produce Environmental Stasis, by which I mean I hope to create a holistic experience for viewers to dwell inside. To do this site specific work I need to present in the room to listen.
In this multichannel edition the sonic content is informed by electronically synthesized sounds and experiential field recordings, carefully curated in space, stretched and rooted along a cosmic timeline. It is the beacon composition for a life long research project. The work investigates how composed and performed soundscapes can become mechanisms for mediation surrounding the body, gesture and black experience.
