Gridlock is a composition that uses the source
sound and image of a location to create a layered sonic experience
both real and imaginary. Screen shots from video are brought into
the aural realm and used to synthesize sonic pictures which are then
employed as another version of the original captured scene. The city
is composed of a multitude of overlapping grid patterns. Everything
from buildings, fences, streets, and windows all conform to the grid
structure. Gridlock attempts to break down and recombine these frameworks
into an alternate urban landscape. One that exists solely in the
world of sound but conjures mental images of a familiar yet alien
place.
