miss u, RD1 - woof woof lol (2021) 

miss u, RD1 – woof woof lol is a choreographed video work for shepherd, dogs, and sheep in which the shepherd moves the dogs and sheep around the paddock, as the sounds of the animals, shepherd, and environment encompass the listener. Working in a field recording/video context removes much of the electroacoustic context from the work. Giving the shepherd agency over the choreographical decisions also removes much of the institutionally taught understanding of spatial movement and in turn, creates a work with sonic spatial interest, but without the cultural barriers that often exist. The result is a work that increases access to spatial audio beyond the academic and arts institutions.
