Selected Artworks
Desire Lines – Fragment #1

Dowsing
2025
Tim Feeney
Ten sonic interventions within the eroded landscapes of the Burren, County Clare, Ireland. A divining into the properties of land, space, light, and time in these locations, and an attempt as an “Irish-American” to reckon with language, archaeology, and colonial history felt as formative but inarticulable without lived context.
Hyper Noise Crystal Image
2026
Cameron Randall

Audio Visual Music Machine
2014-everevolving
Strange Pill
Based on the idea of music as collage and the exploration of fluctuation of meaning, this human-centered interactive composing instrument is a loop-based, multi-channel, mashable audio visual sampler, a hypnotising non-linear journey with millions of possible permutations, syncing together real people, objects, locations and sounds in perfect time.
Aquatic Score for a Performing Goldfish
2026
Sumio Kobayashi
A goldfish becomes the performer of a piano score. Its movements and ripples are translated into sound through digital image analysis. Presented as a video, Aquatic Score explores the shifting boundaries between composition and chance, inviting us to reconsider who makes music and how technology mediates our experience of nature.
Recall: Strata
2026
Miya Sasaki
Memory is fragile, each recall reconstructs it. In this sound installation, six glass layers each slide between Recall and Forget. Each loop never returns to its original form, instead subtly changing, shaped by the others.
