ABOUT Beatrice Vorster: «totalHalo» «totalHalo» is an electronic composition which utilises manipulated tape loops, modular synthesis, field recordings and digital sampling to form cinematic landscapes. The piece examines noise as a tool which both disrupts and intercepts messages, disclosing the limitations of perception while codifying *something* about the technology which hosts it. By mobilising rhythms and sampling moments across the communication landscape of media debris; mp3s become haptic when amplified in the hyper_rhythm of data processing. Time is plastic; vibration is life matter: sonics touch our bodies. Drifting in the vacuum of in-betweenness; totalHalo proposes an aesthetics of lingering as operating in the latent space between frames, the web bubble. The aesthetics of lingering can be characterised by sharp temporal stutters, smoothed by a wash of euphoric longing romance: the glow of the ever-present. Desire fuelled almost-moments dilate and stretch; pulling away from one another in a play of networked intimacy. |
