Sound is the most direct way to physically experience an alternate future unfolding.
the electronic music studio as a time machine / spaceship paradigm
sounds describing nonexistent spaces, made kinetic by immersion, evoking physiology
mutating through networks and fracturing across recursive processes - embedding in laminations, clustering in grains, accreting around an accident, layering past & present
investigating multichannel and nonlinear listening modes, the dance of systems, synchronicities between light, movement and sonic gesture
