SPECULATIVE ECOACOUSTIC COMPOSITION SYSTEMS

2022-ONGOING

Composition of music through interaction with insect sounds and their sonic environments.


In this speculative ecoacoustic composition process, the material of ecological information shapes and informs the resulting music: the inputs of environmental sound are the creative material, as well as the modulators of each other. Site location, placement of microphones and playback elements, as well as focal species and relations, are grounded in ecological knowled ge and observation. The substrate within which the focal insects live is used as a sonic filter, further imprinting the ecological material of the environment on the resulting music.
