Dealing with a concept
I call "sense-shifting", described as a means to be omni-sensitive to
both psycho-tactile objects and non-existent phenomena.
My interest in microscopy
and invisiblity was coupled with the use of an electric carpet (a Japanese
product, similar to an electric blanket), re-wired to function as an
antenna.
The actual sound source, picked up by this "antenna", is made up of
CB/radio & other sound waves from traffic on a nearby highway (close
to the location of the recording, but not visible).
Sounds were received & recorded by the make-shift antenna for a period
of approximately 2 months, then extensively reviewed, edited, sampled
and reformed to fit a composition based on the 4 stages of cell division.
The composition was realized by reforming all the structural elements
of these 4 stages into 4 corresponding soundscapes, using binary code
as means to chart the process from micro-structure to audibility.
