Reflecting on this prototype there are a few things I think I can develop or change in the future. Firstly I need to experiment more with different mediums or even if I want it as an installation at all. The projector definitely has its advantages in the ability to play with light as an object… Continue reading prototype review

Over the holiday my dad and I made a DIY rat distortion pedal from a kit I got for Christmas. I am yet to house it in a box but it was good practice for my aims to build some sort of instrument for my portfolio. Working on skills such as organising parts, following circuit… Continue reading diy
Process – sound
I used a simple no-input setup – just 4 loops without any effects pedals as I wanted to keep the sound quite uniform as they would be layered after. Also the style I was going for was more of a noise wall sound compared to my usual performance improvisation (which focuses on more select noises)… Continue reading Process – sound
process – image
I went on a walk with a friend to Hampstead heath and began noticing the potential noisiness in nature. I kicked myself for not bringing my film camera I had intended to try for this project so just used my phone as tester images to then try recreate. However the photos stuck. I have used… Continue reading process – image
camera
In a meeting with Kate Carr I had a thought that the light and image equivalent of a contact mic was a pinhole camera. She made me aware of her friend back home in Australia, Claire Conroy who creates pinhole camera’s in trucks and vans. This idea of amplification links to noise music and the… Continue reading camera
theories
The initial idea of exploring the relationship between light/image and noise and visualising noise came from my research into harsh noise music for my research project. Reading a lot of theories about noise music particularly by Paul Hegarty on the Japanese scene led me to think how I could apply them in a visual context.… Continue reading theories
Anthony McCall tate modern
As I wanted to work with light and projection in my work it was recommended to me to go see the installations by Anthony McCall at the Tate modern. His work was simple yet effective. Slowly evolving white outlines of various shapes projected in a dark, blacked out room with some smoke in the air… Continue reading Anthony McCall tate modern

A guest lecture that stuck with me this term was the first one of the year delivered by Imani Mason Jordan. They described themself as a writer for the spoken voice, the heard voice. Something I found very interesting at the time as I wanted to incorporate my voice or perhaps writing into my practice… Continue reading imani mason jordan

My initial idea is to play with light/image in relation to sound/noise. What is the experience of one in the absence of the other? Also what is a loud or noisy visual? and therefore is noise light or dark? I wish to explore these abstract dualities in an audiovisual installation whereby the sound is separated… Continue reading 1
refection
I think the piece is successful albeit a little simple and rough around the edges. I really challenged myself to listen hard to mix everything evenly even when quiet. I’m not sure if the ideas behind it are conveyed directly, especially the uncanny in between reality theme, but the senses of nostalgia, identity, memory, intimacy,… Continue reading refection
