dreamptych 1 (for Gamelan Dharma Swara Gender Wayang)
(`dreemp-tik) noun

1. a series of thoughts, images of emotions occurring during sleep and presented in parts of sections as a composed work while awake.

2. a series of thoughts, images, or emotions composed while awake and presented in parts or sections for the purposes of informing and/or inspiring similar activity during sleep

Flora Sensoria is an experiential piece inspired by synestheisia - a neurological condition where one sense is perceived by another, automatically and involuntarily - perceiving sound as having color, associating physical distance with letters or number sequences. 

My work explores the involuntary and personal nature of these sensations through interactions with paper flower sculptures. These sculptures convert the vibrations of your touch to electrical signals which produce real-time responses in your other senses - via sound, light, and physical force. 

Commissioned by the Nouveau Classical Project (NCP)

I'm honored to have my piece performed along side such acts as Richard Reed Parry, Tim Hecker, and Swans. Thanks Dharma Swara.
