'CONCUSSSSION' is an on-going sonic project that originates from an impact to the orbital and frontal bone. Sonic movements continue to develop over the course of my recovery since June 2021. Utilizing low-frequency binaural beats, brainwave entrainment, equal-loudness contour, and time shifts as focal point and sound palette. This work takes the forms of sound compositions, recordings, visual scores, performances, and time-based generated projections, as documents that track the changes of my neurological responses to DELTA, THETA, ALPHA, BETA, GAMMA waves. How does one’s process of recovery from trauma in the present moment shift the effects of past / present stress, oppression, dislocation, and collective trauma?
