Artist Statement:

This work explores the psychological power of combined aural and visual symbolism. Certain classes of sounds and images may be imprinted on our genetic memories or our collective unconscious. They may stir within us memories from ancient times, from before our birth, or even from before the origin of our species, generating profound and unpredictable emotional resonances unique to every listener. The work employs Buchla Lightning, computer electronics, live processed sounds and speech, tape, and a photomontage projection with photography by Egon Dubois.
