This piece was created as part of a sound installation done at “Altered States” festival in the Hague, February 2024. I was using multiple glass vessels of various shapes and forms as sound source for this composition. ‘Disclosed Within & out’ is meant to expose the elements in our body which are often overlooked or are hidden. The purpose is bringing to light thoughts and wonderings regarding human bodily events, turning them upside down and inside out to expose sounds we overlook. familiar yet strange sounds from the body resonate and alternate between the dimensions of recognition and obscurity. The structure of the piece is circular, repetitive, disclosing different elements that were invisible the moment before.
Closeness, estrangement, intimacy, glass is transparency.
Clear view through and to-
Our body is fragile, familiar and thin.
Our breath settles in the warmth and wetness within.
Endless voices whisper in no sense, In an unknown unfathomed space.
Where, when, how, what goes on enclosed by physicality?
Projecting outside and back inside once more, time and time another,
Into the other, produced by existence.
All is redundant, the same with variation.
Sleep, hunger, anger, thought, sensation.
What does it sound like to feel, live, function?
Inside and out, transmitting information.
Signalling, what is consciousness?
What fascinated us as creatures who are aware?
What are we not aware of?
Simplicity is surrounding beauty, every movement catches and sends different waves of meaning
and validity.
We sound and hear and radiate:
Softness, calm, warmth, intensity, hate, connection, alienation.
