Dear Los Angeles… January
In this kaleidoscopic montage, we travel through a surreal Los Angeles, where sights are not what they seem, changing on us at every turn, in a candy colored version of the city of angels.
Dear Los Angeles… January
Dear Los Angeles… October
The sound of language articulates space and place in these two videos about LA.
A Year In The Forest
Proposed work as accepted for soundpedro 2021:
A Year In The Forest
Designed to replicate the rejuvenating aspects of nature (similar to the Simpson Great Barrier Reef experiment), guests are invited to sit in one of 4 tree-themed chairs, meant to resemble a forest. As they sit across from one another (10ft apart), restorative sounds of a forest in nature are played, cycling through the four seasons. Sounds will include winds, stepping through snow, the sound of birds returning for spring, etc. This soundscape is meant to provide an audio refreshment to the listeners, where the audio of nature provides a similar experience to actually being in nature.
Forest of Reflection
A series of audio clips and voice questions designed to prompt deep reflection of the listener, triggered by various motion sensors. Possibly accompanied by colored lights.
