PARTICIPATION Performance: Building Notation This piece uses the concept of architecture as a generator of sound. The layout of Angels Gate campus, in conjunction with chance elements introduced during the performance, will direct the duration, timber, texture, and general quality of sounds produced with stringed instruments, amplifiers, analog synthesizers, and the human voice. Size and […]
PARTICIPATION Performance: VESSEL “A secure and pleasant vessel, carrying inside it a disaster retold” Olga Ravn, The Employees VESSEL is a long-form performance installation for trumpet, mutes, speakers, fixed media, and feedback. Traditionally, the constant airflow required to play the trumpet is so taxing that the instrument can typically only be played in short bursts. […]
PARTICIPATION Performance: Amber Sounds A common thread that runs through much of my work is the exploration of limits and boundaries. In particular, the realms of computing and human perception. In this vein, “Amber Sounds” is an exploration in the relationship between human memory and extreme duration. Using drones, ornate textures, and intricately detailed sounds, […]
Elizabeth Flood is a sound artist working with radio as both an instrument and a medium to communicate from a distance.

Twisted in the moss fur are the coils shared between human and grizzly – a walking DNA rope. Bees cling to the straps, buzzing the way. They […]

Sites of material as origins and destinations and the wall of sound that those circuits manifest. The Port of Los Angeles is a resonator. A receiver […]
