Abstracted Objects

Emma Margetson

Programme notes

… coins… foil… metal pan… cellophane… bubblewrap… noise

A collection of found sound objects originally explored in a hands-on creative workshop exploring sound, object and mark making. The recorded found sound objects from this workshop were repurposed for this 8-channel composition.
