Sound Installations
+ Daisy’s sound arts practice is funamentally centered around acoustic ecology. Her core goal is to facilitate accessible conversations on this subject to the wider public outside of academic circles through the use of an arts platform, particularly communities that don’t commonly have as easy an opportunity into these spaces.
+ So far, this has included immersive and interactive sound installations, introducing and engaging visitors with deep listening practice, and using sound as a platform to draw attention to more-than-human organisms (e.g. plants, trees, insects, marine life etc.) within the environment to contribute towards building better connectivity and consideration towards it.
+ Often, she uses creative technologies such as coding, sensors, and field recordings with contact mics, hydrophones etc. to achieve this. To see this work, please continue here.
Lino x Sound
+ Daisy has been lino cutting and printing since 2021 under the pseudonym ‘Daisy Does Lino’.
+ Her print-making has enabled her to exhibit, gain commissions, independent branding work, as well as running community workshops.
+ This lino work has been developing alongside her sounds arts practice, often serving as visuals alongside her installations. More recently, she has been exploring using 5ft lino carvings as interactive interfaces for her creative coding installations, exploring the intersections between natural materials, the process of carving and imprinting to represent and physically explore sound.
+ She is continuing to experiment this concept of ‘sound carving’ as part of an ongoing work.
Music
+ Daisy has been writing and producing her own music since she was in her early teens.
+ Her music is often composed from sampling found sounds and field recordings, interlaced with jazz-influenced chords and vocals. She has an interest in the ‘hidden’ potential in everyday sounds, and working with these sounds to draw attention to sonic richness of our environments. Her choices in production have been from a liberal political decision to represent issues in access to digitally creating music with limited economical resources.
+ Her work is informed by techniques found in music sampling cultures such as rap, house, and electronic music histories such as musique concrète. Inspirations include Delia Derbyshire, Emeka Ogboh, KMRU, Kate Carr, and MEITEI (to name a few).
+ Currently, she’s developing a new musical project, but previous work can be found under ‘DAISY IS BRØKE’.
// Daisy graduated with a BA Hons in Music Technology from the University of Sussex, Brighton, in 2021. She is currently in the processes of completing her postgraduate in Sound Arts at LCC, University of the Arts, London.
