Alexandra Gowing
My relationship with Noise music within my practice has always been linked with visual imagery. I rely on sonic experiences to inspire creative visualisation and vice versa; the image, particularly the moving image explored in my work, motivates the desire to compose. The chemistry between Noise and the image is a transformative and magickal process, a cocktail of frequencies and energies manipulating reality. I explore themes of the Occult, Indigenous cosmologies, and religion and critique global capitalism's infrastructures through video and sound mediums. Dark Energy Manifesto is an inquiry into the intersections between Ancient Greek and Biblical Cosmologies in contrast to Animism. It deconstructs cultural influences lurking within the fabric of society's consciousness. D.E.M. Pt 2: Necromancers Bootlegs, focuses on found footage exploring mystery and the unknown, challenging systems of belief.
