This work devised for a Radiophrenia x Resonance Extra/ Jerwood Foundation commission is a 19 minute sound piece that explores the tensions and experience of extensive use of social media, hand held devices and digital dissemination of information.
I utilised screen captures of my ‘online journeys’ while to create scores from. The sonic narrative of these works echo the jarring imagery that was sought out as a result of my low concentration span and complicity within the distractions of the web.
Inspiration for the sounds featured within the composition include: monitor refresh rates, loading and buffering rates, the speed at which information is sent and received, malfunctions, scrolling rates, 140 character limitations and push notifications. I reimagined these elements sonically as well as using recorded samples to form the tonal palette of the piece.
