My relationship to sound evolved in the church. My foundation in gospel music caused me to develop a keen interest in how sound interacts with memory, emotion and the body, how it connects the material and metaphysical worlds.
I am curious about how sound creates our reality, and distorts it, what that says about our conceptions of truth, and the fragility of it. I often think about how sound is a tool that been monopolised, weaponised within our societies – drones playing the cries of children at play, wailing, police sirens
and inversely, how silence is registered in the body
I wonder about sound as vehicle towards liberation, the power of chants and cries
Sound art, as I believe it be, is the hidden mode through which all art is birthed through, nothing is created in the absence of sound. Sound art is amorphous, fluid and bound to infinite subjectivity
