Lina Choi
Artist in Residency
- Residency
Lina Choi's residency is realized in partnership with the DAÏMÔN production center.
I have kept wondering as to how underwater sounds can be heard in a spatial way, so that the sound coming from every direction makes listeners feel as if they are surrounded by water, inside of water or floating on water. During the residency, I wish to explore 3-dimensional surround sound. The project starts with field recordings of wintery water sounds along the Ottawa River, Gatineau River, and Ruisseau de la Brasserie. It also includes some experiments in creating an immersive soundscape that I can show with a performance.
