Since 2016 I have been engaged in a performative practice that explores themes of acoustic ecology and the relationship between technology, the natural world, and my own positionality in relation to identity, land, territory, and the environment. Working with electronics and modular synthesis, combined with traditional acoustic instrumentation, live mic input, and field recordings, I create indeterminate compositions for semi-improvised performances. My process begins with active listening followed by capturing and deconstructing the subject through electronic intervention. Processes of time manipulation, synthesis and random chance introduce dissonant juxtapositions pushing the source materials to a point of unrecognizability. I then strive to reconcile this chaos by restoring structure and harmony, challenging perceptions of what is real and what is synthesized. The semi-improvised nature of my performances result in ephemeral works that may be documented, but are never recreated.
I have performed solo and collaboratively in Canada and abroad including at the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba (Brandon), send + receive “Alleyways” (Winnipeg), Nuit Blanche YXE (Saskatoon), Neutral Ground ARC (Regina), and Warte Für Kunst (Kassel Germany). I have been commissioned for sound design on artworks by artists Peter Morin, Lisa Wood and Chris Reid.
