Recent projects have explored immersive, multi-speaker recreations of natural soundscapes, bringing the essence of the landscape into the gallery and performance space. Using a precise array of microphones, he records environments in situ and later reconfigures the sound for installations, placing speakers in an identical spatial arrangement, creating a “surround birdsong” effect. Synchronised video projections span multiple walls, capturing the gradual transition from darkness to dawn as the rising sun reveals the landscape. As daylight emerges, the birdsong swells in intensity, creating a dynamic interplay between sound and light. This immersion surrounds performers and audience alike, facilitating a collective appreciation of the biodiversity that WA offers.
