Artist Statement:


    Alethic’s broad conceptual terrain is multifaceted. It alludes to philosophical concerns, technoculture and futurism. As the work evolves it is also dealing with concepts of deep time, space time perception, cultural understanding of time, metaphysical and quantum physical scientific theories and developments, also the variant understandings and contexturalisations across different cultures. A wide range of vocal samples are used, many drawn from writers and thinkers informing my understanding of the world from the 1970s onwards.

    The work is deeply rooted in speculative practice. My creative career has been based on researching the creative use of technology as it has evolved over the last forty years. Cultural contextualisation has been a major part of this and the role of the performer. My role is the conductor. Two Leap Motion devices monitor realtime movement, position and gesture of my hands from which complex signal flows control and influence sound and vision in a variety of ways. Conducting for the twenty first century. This is directly inspired by my work performing on stage within classical and contemporary classical modalities. Alethic is the most developed expression of my core practice to date.

    The works takes the audience into deep immersion, physical and psychosensory. The work is variably formatted but at its’ highest delivery mode uses ambisonic sound to put the audience inside the 3D sound. Similarly up to 12 thousand pixel width visual content can fully surround the audience with the requisite technical production values and staging. All of this interactively controlled by my performance in real time. Video camera sources linear and realtime are also used and integrated at times. Much of the visual content is mathematically generated using a range of algorithmic styles and approaches including AI and machine learning.
