Texture Translation” is an investigation into the sonic relationship between touch, gesture, and texture. The concept behind the project is to find new ways to listen to our interactions with our immediate environment, composing by using the objects and materials around us. The piece allows us to consider the myriad of textures surrounding us, interpret them in a different context, and magnify their micro detail, providing a new method of examining the spaces we inhabit. The sound produced by the piece reflects the body’s movements, and interaction with the textural patterns of our material environment.
