Sound is an embodied experience

“I’ve been trying to understand people’s embodied experience of sound… ie. how does it feel when you experience dissonance? … all of these sensations, they're quite fragile and they’re easily masked, we simply block them out, quite a lot of my time has been spent trying to open up myself and other people to things that they often just ignore, and they ignore for good reasons - we’re doing something now called auditory stream biasing, which is trying to listen to each other whilst listening to background music.”

Sound is a convincing experience

​“In terms of creating an auditory and visual experiences, there’s stuff that I do exploring embodiment that can really benefit from a kind of technological approach - I can write about it till the cows come home, I’ve done several years worth of research with music psychologists and Im fairly convinced about it but most people don’t have time, they want to experience. Theres a real opportunity to create those sort of things.”

Visual and Auditory Interventions

"There's a whole range of physical responses that we have, to not just to sound but also to what we see, we mask so effectively that when you take that mask off people don’t even realise they were wearing a mask… People find it exciting when they can feel a whole range of things that they were disguising."
