“My practice operates at the interface between music making and performance art. Using a tape recorder, I create compositions by employing a looping technique originally developed for radio and TV sound effects…The sound sources I use come from both popular and avant-garde culture.Using no digital processing, I transform with a tape recorder, the digital audio from a laptop. Manipulating the recording physically. Barthes writes, ”there are two musics, the music one listens to, the music one plays.” … I use music as it influences our notion of time, memory and intimacy as the basis for improvisation and abstraction.” - Joseph Hammer
