Capacitive Sensing with Liz Phillips

I have a project going which is a sound sculpture. It reminded me of Liz Phillips, so I was looking at some of her work online. This looks like a fun dinner

Listen

guitar bit

A little late night clip of material swimming in the grey matter. AUDIO

filo rough

The image is almost a rectified soundfile.
An in process piano and fixed electronics work. The electronics are derived from a performance of the work. The new/edited score is a reduction of the original score, hence the piano outlines the original work and the electonics fill in the details and offer a different sonic palette.

sketch 27/06

I have been playing around with a melodic pattern I created the other day and the recent iteration is this very slow version.

This is a short electroacoustic piece I am currently working on. sketch impulse piece
