Sound Installation in 6.1
2018 Duration: 12 minutes |
The decision to work within the physical and sonic confines of The Glass Tank (Abercrombie Building, Oxford Brookes University) was a challenge that I undertook in order to explore the possibilities that the space offers. The desire to investigate various areas of The Glass Tank with diverse microphones yielded pleasant surprises. For several days I travelled back home with new-found sound bytes captured from alarm systems, electric doors, thin wire ropes, hard floors, different wall surfaces, and human presence and absence.
This installation brings together heard and unheard sounds gleaned from The Glass Tank, and my interaction with these sounds within this space, creating an interplay between found sounds, the site, the materials within the space and my interventions. The result is a sound composition which acts as a provocation, generating contrasts in atmospheres, new interactions and a confrontation with the space.
