Alocas

Louise, December 14, 2017November 12, 2018

Alocas in situ at the Stephen Lawrence Gallery, Greenwich, London. 

Alocas is one of a series of works for Expanded Audiovisual Format (EAF); an ongoing exploration involving pieces that are concerned, in both composition and exhibition, with moving away from a single-screen, two-speaker format. The work is intended to be exhibited in a small, very dark space, creating an immersive environment in which the audioviewer is completely enveloped by both the sonic and visual structures formed in the work.   The pitched material in the work is generated algorithmically, then subsequently sculpted and intervened with using both chance and rules-based procedures. The intention, within the confined exhibition space, is that the work both look and sound entirely different dependent on whereabouts in the space one is situated.

fuzee

A fuzee (fusee) is a cone-shaped pulley with a spiral groove used in chord or chain-winding clocks. fuzee is an 8-minute audio/video piece in which sonic momentum is translated into visual movement in a pre-defined and very specific way.

Built from sounds recorded using an 8-channel, real-time spatialisation system called systemic, controlled via a physics-based visual system built in processing, this is originally an 8-channel work which won the world prize in the Electracoustic Competition Musica Viva 2011.
