Abstract/Summary

An amplified scissors confronts its digital symbol in this audio piece created for RELAY, an online music project devised and curated by Irish musician John Lambert aka Chequerboard. Digital audio editing cuts are placed randomly over scissors sound samples and then performed with the scissors instrument to determine the rhythm of the composition. RELAY creates a chain of sound pieces where each work is created in response to the previous so that ideas and sounds shift, mutate and evolve over time. Commissioned by Model Arts and Niland Gallery, Sligo, (Ireland).
