"Composition in Fourteen Tones," 2016

Composition in Fourteen Tones is a multi-layered sound piece based on themes of autonomy and intersection. The composition’s structure sustains its tone while being in a constant trigger of sonic intersections through motion sensors. The movement and interaction of approaching figures with the sensors dictates the arrangement of the piece, creating various, unpredictable versions of the same composition. Jessica Martin and I built PIR sensors into the walls of the MOCA in Miami and programmed each sensor to trigger a sound (from a larger composition) we made.
