about

Bang, Crunch, Bounce is inspired by Loop Quantum Gravity, a theory that strives to create a grand unifying theory that merges quantum mechanics and general relativity. This theory speculates that our known universe is in an infinite cycle consisting of a Big Bang, a subsequent expansion followed by a contraction, or “crunch,” until everything compresses into another Big Bang, from which another universe “bounces” into existence. This work contains numerous bang/crunch/bounce cycles that create a very small set of sonic universes. Within each of these cycles, an acoustic sound world emerges and regresses. Each cycle is exponentially shorter than the previous soundscape, much like the duration of bounces of a ping pong ball become shorter and shorter. Within this movement each sonic environment was selected from among recordings of acoustic environments collected over three decades.
