Watermark
Watermark (2017) is a collaboration with fellow sound artist Miranda Hill, supported by the City of Melbourne through their Test Sites program. A sonic installation work based on the Yarra that brings a new lens to the river. Using submerged microphones and real time electro-acoustic double bass and percussion improvisation, captured and played back through speakers along Birrarung Marr, an immersive, stereo sound art work that may be experienced by passers-by.

Australia is a drought-ridden land, so in this work we are exploring what our relationship with water would be if we had an abundance while inviting the listening audience to examine more closely this resource that some may take for granted. Watermark is a meditation on the music of the river: amplifying its natural rhythms, and bringing its voice to the fore.
