Depth of Field

Depth of Field is a collection of work created over the past two years using field recordings and computer generated sounds. The title draws a sonic parallel with photography and visual imagery in terms of the relative clarity or presence of background and foreground content and the interplay and movement between the two ideas.

  • Wet Sounds 2011; Valuri, included this traveling installation in Europe. In Wet Sounds, "the listening space is split into two distinct spaces. Underwater, sound fills perception but despite it being absorbed by the ears and body, listening is a silent and detached yet intimate experience. Overwater, sound interacts with the resonant swimming pool space. Other people's actions such as moving in the water or talking become part of the listening experience. Listening shifts from an internal experience underwater, to an external one outside, uniting in the mid point in a floating position on the water surface." Joel Cahen
