Two cyclones of fragmented walls, beams, doors, stairs, and windows circle in darkness. In this study of thresholds, liminality, loss and destruction, the act of dwelling is expressed in shadows and echoes, as acoustic grains and sculptural elements that waver between familiar and alienating. The precious form of the miniature is upended to reflect the fraught nature of home as a psychosensory construction, as comforting archetypical shapes alternate with irrevocably broken pieces and unrecognizable shards, casting multiple shadows that merge and scatter.
In the electroacoustic sound composition, these architectural constituents are considered in their role as witnesses, with sound material recorded from the perspective of numerous interior spaces, whether with contact microphones on windows, underneath staircases, or deep inside ventilation systems. What could perhaps be read as an allegory for the complex relationship between domestic space and memory also seems inseparable from the inundation of imagery wrought by current events.
