Begun in 1998, RE.SOUND is a project created by Jody Elff for a series of audio installation works. Since its first appearance, RE.SOUND has developed into an exploration of how sonic energy can be used as a palette to draw from in the pursuit of new audible textures. The name is a reference to the process of sonic re-interpretation, which is the foundation for the works themselves. As technology becomes increasingly sophisticated, our ability to compile the data inherent in any given phenomenon increases; by analyzing the existing sounds in a particular environment for tone and volume, a wealth of data is made available. This data is then utilized to create a new set of audible events that is re-introduced into the environment. Because none of the resulting sonic combinations are pre-recorded, each instant of the experience is unique. In each installation, the presence and action of every observer has a direct influence on the behavior of the piece. Re-interpreted, re-presented, re-cycled sound. RE.SOUND |
