As a bodily sense, sound is invisible, yet it has so much influence on how we perceive physical reality: where objects and the landscape sit in relation to us. I’m interested in this language of perception and how it can blur the boundaries of reality via the physical sense of hearing. My way of thinking about Intermediary has a lot to do with my own experience and perception of sound in the landscape.
Earlier this month, I wrapped up my residency at Lobe Studio, where I spent a total of 80 hours across June and July. I went into the residency knowing a bit about 4DSOUND, the holographic sound technology that Lobe is dedicated to, having attended an info session and a performance there previously. But the experience of working independently in the space for so long was irreplaceable in terms of tuning my perception and thinking about spatial sound.
I spent four hours a day in the studio during the week, which I arrived at via a commute involving two separate buses. This new routine was quite a departure from my usual schedule of working from home according to my natural energy flow. But it was well worth the challenge of imposing a bit of temporary rigor on my habits.
