SOUND MASS
8-channel
sound installation,
duration 23 min 20
sec
The resonance of the cathedral of Cologne, Germany is featured in this
installation, which investigates senses of sonic architectural
engagement.
Extracted from silence (room tone), the sonic "presence" of the Gothic
cathedral is enhanced as it is transformed into an atmospheric sound
field.

breath-sky
1-channel video installation, stereo sound,
duration: 6 min 2 sec
While shooting video in the cathedral in late winter my breath was
always visible. I recorded the sound of my breathing in the cathedral
and video taped the white plumes of breath. Later I decided that the
breath was better served "freed" from interior space, and so framed it
with only the sky as backdrop.
I then analyzed the sound of my breathing for resonance, extracted it
from the other breath sounds and created a stereo sound track that
completes the installation. breath-sky punctuates the SOUND
MASS installation and eventually enters the SOUND MASS
audio tracks as the breath resonance takes over the other installation,
though it later yields to the former slow pulse it previously kept.
Another video installtion, breath-stone,features the breath
against a backdrop of sheer black granite.

ENDLESS COLUMNS
7-channel video installation, duration: 23 min 20
sec
This installation explores visual architectural engagement as the
typical gesture of looking up a cathedral column is examined.
Each small monitor carries a different program of continual panning up
the columns of the cathedral of Cologne. As the top of a column arrives
on screen it dissolves into a column base that repeats the cycle.
The projection features 2 to 5 simultaneous transparencies of similar
panning up the columns. Different perspectives and panning rates occur
simultaneoulsy in the video as an abstract program of gesture emerges.
