The Inside of a Grain Silo imagines what this place might sound like. Exploring a symbiotic sonic relationship between mechanical objects and raw material.

Here, the sound of working machinery is dismantled and abstracted through sheets of metal. Each sheet is fitted with a surface transducer that plays a digitally processed musical note. The vibration produces motion and allows each sheet to move in response, producing sound of its own. Droning, pulsating, and shivering. The material hangs in permanent suspension and fills the space with a lingering, muted trace of its proposed existence. Sounds of industry, nature, or nothingness. A steel silo or a dream.

Evoking visual themes of discordance and juxtaposing technology with non-musical objects, my work explores how musical performance could be arranged and perceived in unfamiliar ways.
