Connect and Disconnect

Observe those so dependent upon technology for communication they cut themselves off from the outside world.



This is clearly an effect of continuous, selective absorption of information through various electronic media, a diminishing of consciousness reflecting subjection to immediacy, the instantaneous direct involvement and vicarious participation in representations of culture interconnected media systems afford. The individual accustomed to such constant, passive stimuli is rendered insensible, to some extent, to direct perception and communication.

Rather than contribute to the stultifying effects of scenarios like these, I am interested in developing artistic compositions in sound that direct the percipient toward full and heightened awareness and experience.
