The Menace of Sound

"We often think of the sonic world in binary terms: beautiful verses ugly (sound verses noise). While there is some validity in these categories I would suggest that the two cannot exist in isolation from each other. There is a point at where the two extremes must meet, bleeding into an ambiguous domain that haunts the listener with its uncertainty. For me this domain is where the most interesting experiences can be found for both the artist and the audience.
In this show the simple sounds of crickets, wind, wire, bridge cables, commercial spaces, and seals are recontextualised into a world which resonates with menace. It is to the artists' credit that they never resort to cheap theatrics, instead choosing to build tension through well-crafted layerings and juxtapositions of natural and industrial sounds."
