The show is called ADSR or Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release after the four factors used in sythesis to control the amplitude envelope (the shape of a sounds volume). These words used in their more general sense say something about the process of working.

This set of works coincides with a recent interest in synthesisers and the modular way they make different sounds from a singular set of processes. As well as a recent interest in materials and processes in sculpture and drawing.


The sculptural works were designed at the same time as a sound piece which will be presented in four channel and which also moves episodically from bass tones which progress through a series of filters and to form the higher tones. The piece moves between the raw synthesized piece and a version of the piece recorded in the space, mapping spatial changes. A sample can be downloaded here
