the lure of Progress [I]

Multichannel sound work.
Multichannel audio system.

the lure of Progress [I] examines climate disaster and the collapse of the modern ideal of Progress. Its first iteration (2023) presents ‘sonic contrails’: acoustic equivalents of the white linear trails created by aircraft exhaust and changes in air pressure. These sonic contrails are derived from commercial flight paths approaching Mexico City Airport.

Stereo sound sample.

Duration: 9:20 minutes.
