“First Contact” explores the concept of the implied narrative of human evolution and society based on familiar sounds, field recordings and cinematic musical themes juxtaposed with nonmusical sound, noise and auditory glitch experiments. The audio score is then fed into generative analog video synthesizers that are used as visual interpreters and are then manipulated and recorded as a live performance. The final result is a media artwork that pairs sound and light. Exhibited at ASU Art Museum 2021.
