Rooms within Rooms
This research explores collaborative methods for working with sound and space and how this can contribute to shaping new forms of experiential encounters. In doing so, it examines ways that a broader and subtler understanding of spaces can significantly benefit a contemporary spatial sound installation and composition practice.

Through the development of an evolving series of methods and tactics for approaching a space, a more nuanced understanding of spatial sonic practice has been pursued, with each work produced taking form through an assemblage of rooms, sound, things, audience, and artist, as opposed to the arrangement of sonic images in space. By following an inquiry into what sound may be heard to do, recorded sound is cast in the varied role of an invitation, actor, catalyst and a means of inquiry within each of the situations in which it was introduced.

Rather than reiterating the projects completed through this PhD, this exhibition, Rooms within Rooms, applies the methods and tactics developed through research to work with the space housed inside SITE EIGHT.
