Dream Mechanics is an 8 minute acousmatic composition that was used in a 16 channel diffusion performance. The composition relies heavily on field recordings and creative processing to convey narrative, mood and place, contorting these elements to communicate the shifting mutability of a dream landscape.
The Undulating Self
The Undulating Self is a musical bio-feedback system between the human body and four tuned aluminium rods. The human pulse is reflected in the material, creating a symbiotic alignment between the participant and the object.
Through focusing on the tempo of their pulse and the physicality of vibration , the user can become more conscious of their own body and its mechanisms, regulating sound through breathing exercises, bringing them back into their body.
This project was conceptualised as a response to symptoms seen in CPTSD as well as different aspects of Neurodiversity (for example dissociation, or an increased pre-disposition to anxiety disorders)
