I then put the dreams onto a small AdaFruit sound board and installed that into an old rotary phone. And thus, the dream phone was born. Pick it up, and hear people&#8217;s dreams. It sat on an oilcloth with the text of the dreams laid out so that the dreams ran into each other, forming new images, much like they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first piece I did for the show, which is most relevant to audio, is called Vision through Sound. It examines the way our senses intermingle to create a perception of reality. Each scene begins with a soundscape, giving your brain time and space to create an image of what it hears. Text prompts appear on screen which will alter your brain&#8217;s perception in some way. Next, an image appears to cement or shift that reality. Finally, everything dissolves away, leaving just the audio to drift from your memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend you give it a listen with headphones as several of the recordings were captured binaurally. Curious to hear how people perceive it and how they feel about the confluence of audio, word and image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/905024250?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was asked to join Lacuna Observatory, an artist collective a while back and we just had our first show exploring the spaces between dreams and the waking state.
