Human Touch (2020)

When I first developed this installation for Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival in 2020, it was presented as a standalone website with a slightly different look and feel.

The original version is now hostedhere ↗. Follow the link to view it as it was then.

The objects collected here are a mixture of sculptures and found objects but every one is human-made. Each sound is created by direct manipulation by the human hand. I present this digital space for you to do with as you please, but if you're the kind of person who likes a little instruction, how about this? Put on a pair of headphones and experiment with combining sounds and adjusting volumes until you've created your very own sound sculpture, try and focus on the sense of tactility and the emotions you can create within yourself with different combinations.

stay as long as you'd like...
