Sound Sculpture
See Menu to Right
Sound sculpting is to me a combination of the semantic of both painting and sculpture; sculpted sound has form and texture, light and shade, it is a spatial, multi-sensory experience operating in three dimensions, it can be be opaque or transparent, it can be sound, it can be noise, it can be music, it can be a mask. each sound experience is unique to each listener.
Sound is an abstract transient artform painted 'in the moment' using form, texture and dynamic. Sound interacts with the listeners' perspective to define the context of an installation in an environment or public space.
The beauty of this ephemeral form is that the interpretation varies from individual to individual from day to day, the aesthetics of visual art and music meet in that instant to create... and then it is gone.
Much in the way that a sculptor works with physical materials to create aesthetically pleasing or challenging forms, I work to create soundscapes of many forms.
In the case of physical pieces, some require interaction, others may be operating independently on a pre-determined or random setting or may be weather dependent.
Sculpture can be indoors or outdoors, for public or corporate spaces, for public buildings and parks or in your own garden, a piece can be visible or merely audible.
