Op. 24: Sonic Clock
Soundscapes and phenomenology of space.
Op. 24 is a reflection of one's behaviours and comprehension of space and time through sound. This project is a sonic translation of individual patterns of existence and environment, accidental junctures, and their transformation into immaterial frequencies and a fathomable experience.
Similar to the idea of psychogeography as introduced by Situationist International, where in this movement the original idea of a map is not only conceptually but also physically torn into pieces and reassembled. This way, a novel concept of space is introduced and the conventional boundaries are blurred out.
Op. 24 can also be interpreted as a sonic form of time measurement. Through a consistent process of recording soundscapes and experimental musical agents, I was able to produce a 24-hour soundtrack dedicated to reflecting and simultaneously illustrating how one perceives the passage of time through the changes in their environment.
These sounds are particular to an individual’s patterns of existence, habits, and interactions. When compiled, these raw recordings and accidental sounds have the ability to layer into an ambience that is consumable by others, while being distinct to the creator. A good sum of sonic habits and behaviors are shared amongst humanity, yet there are certain occurrences and sound waves that are better sensed by a smaller majority due to their shared resonance and wavelengths.
