Some of these works are from performances, compositions for A/V works, or other sonic explorations. Visit my soundcloud page for more of this, and see the Sound Design page for compositions specific to theatrical, film/video, dance and other productions.
This is a nine minute single shot determined by the currents of the Peace River under threat by BC Hydro and the SiteC dam project. Sound sources were recorded on location and in the depths of a hydro dam.
If the dam is completed this entire area, Indigenous burial and ceremonial land, and fertile farmland will be under water.
What you see here is not the final outcome of the artwork. We are releasing this version now to help create public awareness about the SiteC dam which has been approved by the new NDP government in British Columbia.
The final piece will be an a/v performance by Julie Gendron and Emma Hendrix and will be completed over the next couple of months.
