Sonic Sermons use speculative scriptwriting and text-to-speech AI to locate experience through poetic, non-linear notations. These sound elements come out of the ongoing series Poiesis of Weathering.
The sound from each performance is lifted directly from the videos, allowing the audio to stand independently as a sonic assemblage, while still retaining its connection to the performance.
The videos are filmed in domestic spaces, such as the living room, bedroom, or studio. The background is removed to suspend performance in dream-like space, treating erasure as absence and possibility.
I convert spoken words to audio and edit them with sound effects and music from video-editing libraries to create short musical sermons.
