Baltimore's Melissa Moore creates elaborate, theory-driven sound pieces using equipment that is part art installation, part science lab. The sparseness of her sounds belies a complexity to the work and its construction, the result of using a series of self-invented physical instruments to focus the listener's attention on the physical properties of the materials involved. Both pieces presented here offer a sonic glimpse of the working through of a process; and while they sound like live recordings at an art gallery, they could just as easily be field recordings made inside a physical science laboratory: an immersive - and quite literally experimental - sound world. |
