Interferens

_Interference

_I

_{The action of interfering, or the process of being interfered with}

_II

_{The combination of two or more electromagnetic waveforms to form a resultant wave in which the displacement is either reinforced or cancelled.}

_{A meeting, a change of paths.}

_{A polyphony of voices, creating a New.}

_{New patterns, new coexistences, new forms.}

_{Something obvious, something fragile.}

_{Something barely noticeable.}

_​

_{I am interested in this micro perspective, this is where offset happens.}

_{This is where we ought to listen.}

_​

_{An assemblage of soft forces, barely visible dissonances.}

_{A resonance of coexistence.}

_{A growth.}

Interference occurs in which two or more waves occur at the same site and form a new wave pattern. Interference between two sound waves of almost the same frequency, generating a third tone in our listening, this phenomenon is called hovering. Interference also refers to an interfering action, which interferes with, interferes - a meeting of several components, a displacement, a polyphony of voices that collectively create a new coexistence.

Interferens seeks to implement interference in the boundary between materiality and sensation, and open a reflection space where an offset experience of physical autonomy can arise. The work is composed in polyrhythmics over an extended vocal range of eighteen interfering glass plates, plaster and colour pigments, female vocal, percussion and score printed in letterpress.
