PC 13: ERIN Precariat Content

    • Arts

Bio:
Erin is a media artist informed by sound as a phenomenological experience. Using bio-sensors as a sort of interface her work explores emotional sincerity both as a composer and in videogame design. Her work is cerebral and politically engaged, but is nonetheless insistently physical and grounded in the body.


Recording Notes:
There is a good deal of rain in this recording. Too, Erin has the rich vocal timbre of an ASMR-tist so those textures combine to make this a pleasant interview to listen to, especially in the cavernous converted factory of Montreal’s Eastern Bloc gallery space where we took the recording. When I asked Erin to offer me an experiment upon which to base this episode’s bridging music she shared with me a dream she had of spitting, screaming, singing crystals. So you’ll hear my attempt to sound design that dream. I had assistance from Aug and their crystal collection, as source material for the sound design. You’ll also hear an excerpt from Erin’s 3rd person shooter VR experience that centres on emotional sincerity, rumbas and b-list vocaloids.

Toward the end of the interview Erin describes a new work, showing until the end of the month at Eastern Bloc and available at laughingweb.space. To experience or contribute to her piece-- inspired by Cheryl L’hirondelle (luh-ron-dell)-- visit the website linked below.
