In 1998, Jody Elff began creating a series of audio installation works. Since then, these works have developed into an exploration of how ambient sonic energy can be used as a palette to draw from in the pursuit of new audible textures, in addition to an examination of our awareness of space through audible information. As technology becomes increasingly sophisticated, our ability to compile the data inherent in any given phenomenon increases; by analyzing the existing sounds in a particular environment for variations in tone and volume, a wealth of data is made available. This data is then utilized to create a new set of audible events that is re-introduced into the environment. Because none of the resulting sonic combinations are pre-recorded, each instant of the experience is unique. In each installation, the presence and action of every observer has a direct influence on the behavior of the piece. |
