Demystifying the Narrative is situated at the intersection between sonic art performance and a mixed-media/textile installation combined with a new electronic musical interface. Reflecting on the turbulent and notable year of 2020, this interactive audio-visual installation critically explores the dominant narratives in the cultural and media landscape through abstract expression of sounds and visual representation via handmade installation. Overall, this work captures the sounds of repetition, repudiation, contradiction, and omission while representing chaos, instability, despair, and unsightly beauty via a large-scale interactive installation. In doing so, it raises the question of what voices were silenced, heard, repeated and contradicted in 2020? What was the overall outcry of collective and individual voices?
Performed on a handmade e-textile instrument w/ voice Improvisation
