I have always had a fascination with the motion of light and the way it physically affects our lives and our very existence. The way light reflects through materials and off different surfaces; the way it blurs with motion. I have recently been reading Albert Einstein's Relativity the Special Theory and the General Theory in regards the way motion effects our perception of light, bending it in time and space. This piece is made up of found, instrumental and synthetic sounds manipulated into different scenes that are fused together into an acoustmatic work. Images for the piece range form mobile phone film clips, a film of a model city, paintings and computer graphics.
The piece plays with the dual perception of audio and visual stimulation.
What we call 'sunlight' is only a narrow span of the entire solar spectrum - the immensely broad band of vibrations which the Sun, our nearest star,pours into space. If we use a musical analogy. Visible light light is merely a single octave of the Sun's radiation, this octave contains most of the power; the higher and lower frequencies are relatively feeble.
