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, it's bio-data and four tuned aluminium pipes. The pulse triggers the aluminium, creating a musical and embodied symbiosis as acoustic vibrations emited from the pipes are felt in the body, echoing the bodily rhythms .
This piece was conceptualised through continued research into the effects of entrainment and collective musicing on mental wellbeing, seeking to explore more accessible means to which people may interact with sound - engaging through rhythms accessible to all, and felt as well as heard.
The piece is imagined as a construction constituting both individual and group uses - where in pairs or groups, with multiple devices, entrainment can be explored through the attempted synchronicity of multiple bio-data inputs.
