Polyptych (2023)

Apprehending the synth through the lens of acquisition and control, Polyptych aims to augment the dynamics of disenfranchisement and apathy that pervade interactions with electronic devices.

Bound within a visual composition, the performer and anthropomorphized synths of Polyptych are forced into a subversion of their traditional roles. Audio transduced into the chasses of the synths render them as living acoustic objects, whilst the microphones worn by the performer - and resultant feedback loops - make them responsive to the autonomous loops and signals of the synths.

Polyptych contains two movements, JUNO-60 and Behringer-RD9, which can also be presented as standalone musical works.
