To make or become Sound

The shift from unwell to well implies a movement, or predominantly three: an act of release, of grounding, and one of rising.

To Make or Become Sound began as an investigation into “sound” as adjective - whole, sane, healed - and the ways in which sound, as verb and noun, has been used to bring about healing. In composition, the research took a more personal turn.

The resulting installation invites visitors to slow down and look inward. Lying or sitting within a circle of eight speakers on an octagonal rug, they are guided through a ~25-minute sonic journey assembled largely from self-recorded sessions with artist friends. The experience unfolds across nine parts - five acts of grounding, two of release, two of arousal - moving between resonance and emotional catharsis, political protest and lullaby, the body and its breath.

The piece does not aim to heal or to educate. It offers instead a space of curiosity - a chance to sense the many ways one might find balance.

Composed in Ambisonics spatial audio format.
