Abstract:
Terrainor is a live performance work in which field recordings are processed and spatialized accompanied by a single channel of video. The material cycles through a number of scenes each of which provides a distinct and particular method of navigation through it. The structure and pacing of the material is designed to encourage a sustained and focused experience, one that makes use of both micro and macro scales. This approach results in recordings that are not traditionally representational, but instead reflect the experience of moving into the sites’ geographies in ways that are idiosyncratic and reference the experiential definitions of site as much as physical ones.
