In this episode, Mary Hurrell shares and discusses her eleven-minute piece Avalanche Candy, a sonic choreography which explores the idea of falling. Guided by the vibrational and embodied quality of the work, we discuss audio as a way to communicate emotional and physical knowledge and intelligence. Collaging text, synthesised voice and field recordings, Hurrell explores notions of gravity within a digital realm; the listener is choreographed through a space of organic and artificial sensations, deconstructed movements and digital physicalities, a bubblegum-industrial dance. BioMary Hurrell (b.1982 South Africa) is an artist working across sound production, live performance and sculpture as a form of expanded choreography.
