Phase Transitions, quadraphonic sound installation, Space Zero Gallery, Seoul, 17.06.2019
Phase Transitions (2019)
Phase Transitions treats sound as if it were a physical substance that can move through the different states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. In the composition, these different states correspond to how freely sound can move and transform. The piece begins in a gaseous state that gradually transforms into a solid. As we transition from gas to liquid to solid, we move from the abstract and ambiguous to the imaginable and recognisable, until finally reaching a semblance of reality.
Phase Transitions was recorded and composed during an eight-week studio residency at Gurodong Studio, Seoul, South Korea. It was exhibited as a quadraphonic installation at Space Zero Gallery in Seoul, and performed through live diffusion at Orbits: traversing the sound sphere, Black Box Multimedia Space, Melbourne.
