Future Soundscapes
multi channel envisionment
MONA FOMA
An envisioned soundscape of a world where non human environments have flourished and humanity has moved into an age of equilibrium with the earth.
The work is made up of field recordings captured in areas that are under irreversible change due to the effects of the Anthropocene. The restoration of these environments seemed like a good starting point of a story that reflected a change in our current ways. The eco-systems and the animal and plant species within them are currently within reach to restore. This brought up questions like, are the outcomes of Anthropocene related to humanity’s perspective to control, own and reconfigure the planet for its own needs? And what would our planet look like if humanity allow non human environments to flourish and to be?
This was the theme of the work, a soundscape, which eventuated into little to no sounds from humanity put into the composition. It’s an perspective of change. A sci-fi view where the future humans live within and co exist with the non human, where sentience between life forms is commonly understood and revered for whatever it’s value may be

BEHIND THE VEIL
A night where installation, soundscape and improvised performance entwined into ethereal realms.
A re imagining of the visual sense within a concert setting, a sound mediation that performers and audience could drift deep into the transcendence. Redefining and expanding the inner realms and outer physical space, observing with all the senses.
Featuring Georgia Bowker Dunn, Tom Robb, Alethea Coombe and Ash Di Va
Three concerts were held at the Hobart Town Hall’s underground space, as well as live streamed. Supported by the Scintilla Festival, Storm Bay Promotions, RANT and the Regional Arts Fund
Reduced Vision
Sound Experiments
The idea was to explore performance boundaries by making an entire venue space a stage. Near darkness was chosen as a fundamental way to explore and remove the visual divisions between audience and performer. Light in some degree was still relevant to the experiment, so we explored darkness to just visible to light traces, and found that we could distort and disturb the visual sense into an evaporating field of perception.
Sound wise, the nights explored trance like states through vocal sound improvisation techniques and improvised movement relating to the sound. The lack of vision being key to becoming more comfortable within the performance to go deeper within the sound, movement and expression.

Your body in a living flesh resonator, the voice is an expression of this infinatly complex creator of sound.
The body as a fluid resonator of movement and sound generation. Voice as instrument carved in it’s flow. Movement directing it’s currents and shifts. .
