Abstract

An Island of Sound is a new browser-based work exploring the notion that the phantom islands that appeared on maps of the North Atlantic at the moment of intersection between Imperialism and Little Ice Age are, in part, weather phenomenon. It does this through an assemblage of found images, algorithmically generated texts, live performance, and sound. Sound offers ways to represent, experience and negotiate written, spoken and visual material that may be speculative, fictitious or factual, emotive, informative, and rhetorical. The sound-world created for the ive performance of this work responds to, supports, and transforms the visual and textual imagery. The sound-world is informed by the kinetic, emergent and systemic character of wind motion across different scales, speeds, layers and dynamics. Field recordings, wind synthesis, generative sample streams and data-driven sound processing are collaged and combined with spoken word to create ambiguous and shifting sonic narratives and spectral resonances.
