Sound

Music by Charles Maggs

Sound radiates around notions of innocence and education.

Many pedagogical experiences rely on a certain degree of synchronised behaviour, as do festivals, dances and celebrations. The burden is on the individual to synchronise their emotions and behaviours with that of the mass consciousness.

This work interrogates notions of organised and synchronised mass emotional events and practices. It queries the space that remains for the unique expression and feelings of the individual within these circumstances and society as a whole. The metronomic aspect of the music evokes the clock that we synchronise all our actions to, the clockwork nature of our behaviour as productive individuals and the machines against which we measure this productivity. The work suggests re-evaluating constructed or imposed behaviour patterns triggers or events.
