Currently developing personal work, Palm Tree Escape is a work in progress relating to the semiotic relationship with escape or paradise with the palm tree image. This work was composed absorbing sounds recorded from the palm tree itself using shotgun and contact microphones. The recorded audio was then manipulated and arranged to create this work. The piece is part of a larger interactive sound installation incorporating an image of the palm tree, manipulated filed recordings, video monitor, circuit board and Max.
