Sound 1987-1999

Theatrics - 1987

Picture
This work was comprised of an old break-box I found in an abandoned factory. The work consisted of a radio receiver and a rusted metal plate that acted as a turntable with a nail needle that circled the plate. The motor in the middle was hooked to a fusebox door, which opened and closed. The speaker for the work was located in the pipe to the left.

Footnotes - 1990

Picture
In this performance at Black Rock Beach (Point Pleasant Park) Halifax, I used oblong stones to construct a make-shift xylophone. Dragging my feet through the stones deposited on the shoreline I realized that I was disturbing a latent acoustic potential. 

I arranged the stones in scales and began to play them on the spot. Eventually I knew that the sea would perform its own decomposition as it eroded this littoral space.

Footnotes, Troy David Ouellette, Slates, Schist, and Migmatite, 1990
