Portal (2006): The door to my studio had some bells hanging on the doorknob which made an interesting sound when the door opened and closed. This sound is an integral component of the basic sound material of the work. I expanded the category of doors to include things both inside and outside of doors including squeaks of doors and environmental sounds outside the back door of the house. Again, the idea is to create a world of sound which is nonspecific to the material used to create it. The sound world is meant to be appreciated on its own without reference, again, to the original materials.
