Momentum: Chapala

Exhibition Overview:
'Momentum: Chapala' is the most recent in an ongoing series of cumulative sound works created since 2012. This particular project was conducted in residency at 360 Xochi Quetzal in Chapala, Mexico, in 2018/19. A short composition was created each day of the month-long residency, comprising field recordings and found sounds, digitally collaged. At the end of the residency all the recordings were remixed into a 30-minute piece. The 'Momentum' series is as a durational sonic journaling project, creating portraits of place and time through listening.
