ALEXIS WEAVERSOUND ARTIST // COMPOSER
I am an electroacoustic composer and sound artist based in Sydney, Australia. My aim is to bring a new awareness for the beauty of sound to a wider audience, evoking a new sense of wonder in our everyday environments. I am inspired by the behaviour of sounds found in nature and in the human body, and then apply these inherently biological processes in unexpected ways. I primarily use field recordings of natural and man-made landscapes, as well as sounds taken from the small, ubiquitous objects we encounter in our daily lives.
I am passionate about bringing a respect for sound as music to those who may not be familiar with the concept. Acousmatic music teaches us to stop and observe the little - and the big - sounds that make up our lives, and appreciate them in a different way. Every sound has a unique texture, structure, beauty that has nothing to do with its source or its purpose. We are surrounded by music in every moment. |
