Interplay
Sound Installation, January 2018
This site-specific 6.1 sound installation is composed from sounds gleaned from The Glass Tank, Oxford Brookes University, Oxford (U.K.). Heard and unheard sounds together with my interaction with these sonic materials create an interplay that involves site, material, space and human interventions.
Ferry boat crossing, Mgarr - Gozo
Field recording, December 2017
I was standing on the quay, just a couple of meters away from the ferry boat service leaving Mgarr Harbour, on the island of Gozo. The big engines create quite a dramatic low rubble but as the boat leaves port and swirling currents create concentric designs in the open waters, air bubbles rise. They create an interesting sonic contrast as they are captured by my hydrophone.
Pebbles Colliding
Field recording, December 2017
With careful microphone placement I managed to capture these beautiful percussive sounds of small stones colliding against one another as water flowed along the curving edge of a stream in Lye Valley, Headington (England).
Bamboo Ears
Field recording, November 2017
While walking through a valley thick with bamboo, I couldn't helping stopping every couple of meters to listen to the continuous creaking and swaying in the wind. Then I wondered what it would be like to listen to these sounds through the bamboo itself. With a small mic slipped inside one tall bamboo, this is what I heard! Mgiebah Valley, Malta.
Valletta shoreline, Malta
Field recording, November 2017
Walking along rocks and man-made concrete platforms, I encounter so many different sound textures of the sea. In this recording, it seemed to be releasing short breaths of air as I captured its movement and sound, traveling through a man-made hole, right by the water’s edge, purposely made to tie small boats used by fisherman to access their larger trawlers. Valletta Harbour, Malta.
Bees in my garden
Field recording, November 2017
A recording of bees in a hedge in my garden. Morning seemed like a good time to record these bees just as they were busying themselves in the sun's warmth. Good clothing as protection was a must!
Stowe Gardens (England) Railing Improvisation
Field recording, October 2017
The resonating properties of a metal hand-rail were too inviting as an interacting element while gleaning sounds from a stream in Stowe Gardens. Improvising with my fingers, the palm of my hand and a very small branch resulted in some interesting sound textures captured with my underwater hydrophone.
