Louise Harris: Ilsonilus:1
— large-scale AV installation, word premiere: Planetarium, Maribor Main Square, Friday, October 9, 2015
The first in a series of large-scale installation works investigating simultaneous sonic and visual illusions. ’1′ investigates binaural beating within discreet frequency boundaries in combination with an attempt at visually replicating lenticular printing within a flat, two-dimensional space. The changes in sonic and visual material occur very frequently (approx every 7.5 seconds) but are constructed in such a way that, as the piece progresses, it becomes less apparent when the changes are occurring, creating a continuous, but not necessarily apparent, evolution. In installation, the work is intended to be physically affecting, at times disorientating, but ultimately meditative.
Louise Harris: Axial
— large-scale AV installation, word premiere: Planetarium, Maribor Main Square, Friday, October 9, 2015
Axial is intended for projection on a dome-shaped space, such as a planetarium, and is one of a series of compositions investigating expanded audiovisual formats. The compositional structure is continually condensing – essentially composed of five iterations of the same material, each subsequent iteration is heard 1.5 times faster than the previous one, creating a sense of momentum and acceleration without any change in pitch or proportional duration of the material.
Louise Harris (UK) is an electronic and audiovisual composer. She is also a Lecturer in Sonic and Audiovisual Practices at The University of Glasgow. Louise specialises in the creation of audiovisual relationships utilising electronic music and computer-generated visual environments, in both fixed media and performance contexts. Her audiovisual work has been performed and exhibited nationally and internationally, including across Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and Japan.
