Undercurrent – sound work – Driven, Fieldgate gallery, 2007.
6 Speakers
Minimac at one end of the room, running logic express. 6 channel fire wire sound box.
Repetitive loop of 40 mins of 7 tracks set at random intervals with random silence between tracks.
Tracks were randomly selected to begin at either end of the room, and each track ran the length of the room. Room approx 42m.
7 hip-hop tracks were selected for their heavy bass quality; including P. Diddy, Snoop Dog, Ying Yang, and 50 Cent.
With assistance from sound engineer Tom Gillieron.
Anti-clockwise – (sound-work) 2007.
The sound of water turning down a plug-hole.
Duration of audio recording 7 minutes. To be played as a repetitive loop for duration of work.
Set-up: Minimac, running logic express, 8 channel fire wire sound box, 8 speakers, cables.
The speakers are set up around a centrally located area. This would preferably be in a room below ground-level.
The recorded audio travels around the room via the speakers, at a similar speed to the water turning, as it goes down the plug-hole.
The work plays with the ideas of location and place, via the disorientating sound-work, employing the commonly believed myth of water turning in
different directions depending on which side of the equator you are on.
