In this exercise we had a task to define our voices. We had to first write a short three sentence bio about ourselves and our practice. mine came out like this.
My names Dereck, I’m an artist interested in the possibilities of sound. Immersive experiences and recycling audio are a big interest as well as escapism. Combining and collaborating with different formats to gain interesting results.
My partner in this task was Yusef, we had to swap each others recordings of the short artist bio we wrote and write notes for them on the sonic identity that emerges.
“My Name is Yusef and i am interested in the ways in which sound can be used to explore unknown avenues of creativity.”
He’s making a statement that he’s interested in sound and how it’s used. His bio is advocating that he’s also interested in the unknown. He likes to explore beyond the norm. In terms of a wider field i’m guessing that perhaps it would situate him within more of a research perspective of sound arts.
