Work Overview
The harpsichord has always appeared to me like a mechanical beast set into motion - a glittering extension of the musical box. As the title suggests, Interweave explores the different acoustic possibilities offered by live and recorded instruments. The process of interlacing various layers of sound recalls images of textiles on a weaving machine, the web of one material being perceived through that of another. In the same way the acoustic placement of each live or pre-recorded sound source within the listening spaces allows one to hear a sound surface emerging through another, according to the fluctuations of foreground and background, and the play of perspective that they engender.
