Swarm/Knives (February 2009)
a sound installation

A space between events that is charged. To call, connecting across space and invigorating an atmosphere. To confuse space as time for making a music. To utilize an erotics of distance.
Flocking is horizontal and occurs at irregular intervals, forming clusters. Flocking is a form of continuity which links discrete sonic events into strands. Tumbling is vertical, a relationship between two or more strands. Tumble is the perceptual grouping of sequential sounds into causal relationships. Tumbling could be heard as a "meta-flocking" across layers of the music. These structures arise through accidental correspondence, emphasized purposefully."
