SoundFjord Opening + The Domestic Soundscape Blog

Prior to this website update, we were mentioned in Felicity Fords lovely write up of the opening of London’s sound art gallery, SoundFjord. Although a little behind now, we still wanted to mention this article as Felicity was particularly supportive of our performance which really made our day. Please do visit Felicity’s blog to read the whole article as her writing is always enjoyable and compelling. Thank you again Felicity, and indeed it was great to see you again that day.

“I particularly enjoyed their mimosa | moize performance at the SoundFjord launch. They used a lot of soft and delicate sonic textures and mixed them in a very sensitive way; it was like a sound-collage made from electric feathers and a trace of it has stayed with me, like a temporary transfer tattoo; all filmy and light and detailed.
I also found the configuration of their performance oddly compelling. Normally I dislike the spectacle of someone twiddling about on a laptop as a performance format, but there was something very engaging about the way these two sat opposite each other, weaving a mix together through their computers. During their performance they were very still, both staring intently ahead into their screens and making only the slightest of movements with the mousepads to generate this very subtle, shared soundscape. The way they sat and communicated through all those electronic circuits reminded me of our very human use of computers and how many connections we make across cyberspace through this interface. In their hands the laptop becomes a delicate instrument, a thing we use for talking to each other in many languages. Sometimes even a language of sweepy, electronic shufflings. I really liked it. Here they are, setting up. I was too transfixed during the performance to photograph it.” - Felicity Ford
