Drift (2018)

Nov 2018 at the City Baths, Melbourne

Drift is a 16-channel underwater sound composition that was presented as a one off event at the City Baths in Melbourne’s CBD. The work requires participants to fully immerse themselves in the water, with their ears below the water’s surface to experience the full spectrum of sound. Listeners experience weightlessness as they float supported by the mass of sound filled liquid. 

This work activates a ritual. The water, always moving, mimics the temporal nature of the sound that inhabits it. Participants have agency over their experience as they move freely around the pool to listen to the different speakers.
