Ring of animals

Hong, Young In; Lloyd, Owen

Abstract

I was asked by Young In Hong to collaborate on this work by developing a sound accompaniment for her installed work, Ring of Animals (2023). The sound was developed as a generative piece that interspersed sounds based in synthesis and field recording with long sections of silence. The onsets and decays of each sound were varied, with some sneaking up on the listener, and some starting much more abruptly and drifting off.

This is the first time I’ve worked alongside a static, non time-based, medium and I found it fascinating to see the change in the room when sounds arrived and left. There seemed to be a genuine conversation between my sound and Young In’s beautiful and enigmatic work.
