The Sound of Clouds and other Sonic Memories is an ongoing archive of oral narratives/recollections of environmental soundscapes articulated through inter-subjective sensory memories. To accentuate the individuality of each memory, each interviewee additionally provides an image of their ears that are sculpted as closely as possible in clay and included in a binaural recording system. While the disembodied ears provide a documentation of situated listening, it’s sculpted form also speaks to simulated modes of recording and contests the authenticity of the listening experience that is increasingly mediated and distant in today’s technoscientific worlds.

This is a virtual sonic environment created to replicate the many forms of acoustic and extra-musical resonance felt in a traditional Irish pub. This system consists of 5 key components: a virtual AI-powered ensemble that analyses the user's input and mimmics their playing, a dynamic and responsice audience, impulse response recordings of several Irish pubs to recreate the acoustics, a series of Irish folk stories that are triggered when the user is not playing, and 360 audio and visuals to create a fully immersive experience. 

This system was designed as a musical tool for composition and performance, in hopes that it might inspire musicians to explore different timbres, genres, or musical outputs. 

This is a virtualy sonic enviroment created to replicate the many forms of acoustic and extra-musical resonance as felt in outdoor performance spaces of Costa Rica. There are four components to this system. The first is a guitar composition that is composed based on the bird song heard in the cloud forst of Costa Rica. The second is a series of AI-driven sonic agents that listen to the guitar part and respond with audio recordings of those same birds, recorded in Costa Rica. The third is a sereis of soundscape recordings captured during my time in Costa Rica. Finally, there is an impulse response of the Museum of National Culture in San José that is used to create a sense of reverb. 

This research-creation project looks at the acoustics of Mosques both in Pakistan and Southern Ontario. As many Canadian Muslim immigrants experience, larger, more elaborate Mosques found in Muslim-majority countries sound very different from the Mosques in Canada, which are often repurposed spaces. How does this change in acoustic environment affect our relationship with our culture, self, faith, and community? This virtually created sonic environment explores these questions to shed light on the Canadian immigrant experience.
