Electroacoustic Composition //2024-25
16-channel (3rd Order Ambisonics)
Drifting Voices explores the inseparable unity between the human body and the ocean.
This multichannel electroacoustic composition, presented in Ambisonic format, primarily features the voices of Portia Lee reading an original poem about the ocean. The voice was captured using both a condenser microphone and a hydrophone. Additional sonic materials include recordings of the ocean and still water. The human voice, signifying the presence of the body, is analysed, deconstructed, and synthesised into intricate sonic details, departing from its semiotic meanings. Scattered, resonant, and stretched voices symbolise the deconstruction and expansion of the body. The processed voices are interwoven with field recordings of the ocean, subjected to a similar abstraction process, culminating in their unification as one entity.
