Flexagon - Exploration I I have purely used sounds extracted from Katherine Betteridge’s exploration of the house. Samples of her voice, violin and tuning fork have been tuned and used to create new unique instruments. The new piece is set against extracts of the ambient nature recordings from the site, taken once again from Katherine’s time in the house. My last project involved working with locations I know very well on my home island and with artists I’ve met. This project is the complete opposite. A chance to travel somewhere and collaborate with another artist through sound only. (And a chance to embrace many layers of hiss and noise as part of the process and work!)
