But if music leaves us, too, then what will become of this world?
Но если и музыка нас оставит, что будет с нашим миром?
Nikolay Gogol, “Arabesques” (1835)
“In one way sound is close to music––though it’s also akin to sculpture. In fact, it is not the medium that’s important, but the fact you have a beginning and an end. Plus an ability to move around in the resulting space.”
”Noise is a material aspect of sound. My [audio] work is an exploration of noise, space, and time. Especially as they are constituted through sound, together with any tangential connections to both audiences and the practice of listening.”
“If you simply want to sit still––and if you have a beginning and an end––then you’re immersed in the art of time. If you can also move around, then you’re inside the art of space. You’re are not positioned in front of anything, rather you are inside it. Hence my disintegration of sound using spectral processing––towards a meditative state.”
