The sound that surrounds is a sculptural sound piece investigating the idea of chance, trust, and control. It grew out of learning about spider species that move around by casting a strand of their silk to the wind and letting it carry them, sometimes for hundreds or even thousands of miles. This resonated as akin to human migration stories—not always having a lot of control over where you might end up or what will await you there. The idea of a spider weaving a web and waiting to see what might get caught feels similar as well, each of these decisions fitting within the idea of trust and chance: being as intentional as you can with the information you have, but knowing that there are always factors outside of your control.
The piece contains seven speakers, each playing a track of a seven-channel audio piece. The audio content changes with each installation and is centered around the idea of what gets lost in long distance communication with loved ones: the soundscape of background activities and noises that can’t be translated or communicated.
