Additional Information: | Acquired by the British Library Sound Archive, December 2021 1. Research Question Can responses to compositions of synthetic and unnatural sound textures be attributed to simple nostalgic conditioning, or are they also a product of fundamental audiological effects? How do we explore the ratio between biological predetermination and cultural imprinting when attempting to unravel our invention of self? 2. Methods Each track was constructed by a process of initially improvising and developing a series of motifs. These were then repeatedly rehearsed and refined before finally being recorded direct to disc, as a single take with no overdubs, editing, mixing or other post-production techniques. These are all recorded live studio performances. In this respect, my music practice shares a very similar methodology to the majority of my performance to camera video work. 3.
