SILVER MOON X
Video & Cassette release with Stefan Christoff & Guillaume Vallée
2022
Julia E. Dyck and Stefan Christoff work in cooperation to explore sound as an opportunity to engage with fantasy and storytelling. As an experimental project, layered audio pieces involving narratives are guided by instrumentation, the human voice and atmospheric sounds from different environments.
This initiative presents works to the public through radio broadcast, recorded releases, performances and interactive installations. A key element to this duet is a focus on creating works that speak to the urgency of this current moment. Dyck and Christoff share a common interest in constructing narrative works that creatively address and critique the social inequities that shape the neoliberal era.
This fluid audio project manifests sonic renderings that visit both the real world and speculative imaginaries. Minimal synth patterns search the fractured fog for a place to pause, to simply take in the surroundings. Dyck performs a reading over the sounds, heightening the emotive atmospheres, echoing the fragmented footage by Guillaume Vallée.
This feels like an important relic from another world, a reminder to stop, to listen.
