A collaborative project with movement and video artist Kelly Rauer, spanning videos, sounds, performances, and hybrid combinations. Beginning with a two-minute performance using tap shoes and acoustic feedback through a large resonating metal sheet — that initial experiment opened into an extended investigation of space, movement, and sound.

Improvisational performances were captured for camera across various Portland locations — sounding out spaces with tap shoes, framing found geometries. The resulting footage edited for sound as much as image: repetitions, stutters, rhythms, glitches. An accompanying score created entirely from processed samples of two degraded vinyl LPs. A session in Portland's oldest building using no-input mixer, acoustic feedback, effects pedals, and amplified small objects, movements inside an unused Soviet-era grain mill in Estonia, among multiple levels of turquoise machinery.

These sound and movement choreographies for camera were incorporated into a 20-minute performance at the Risk/Reward Festival, 2016. Against a large projection, Rauer created onstage shapes, moved sound-making objects and speakers, arranged items in task-based sequences. At the back of the stage, sounds were created, mixed, and processed in real time — samples, contact microphones, acoustic feedback, a record player. Near the end, a large television rolled onstage displaying a live feed of hands at the electronics.
