Hemispheric
Philip Reeder
Part of _Hemispheric’s_ aesthetic stems from the use of super-wide-angle photographic lenses, sometimes known as fisheye lenses. These tend to create an inhuman hemispherical field of vision, with objects toward the periphery becoming increasingly distorted, often requiring a remapping of the image in an attempt to create a less skewed projection. Continual recycling of sonic material in this piece gives rise to viewpoints which are similarly distorted and re-mapped, exploiting the expansive potential of the medium.
_Hemispheric_ is constructed out of field recordings and sampler instruments. Very few linear sections of sound remain – most have been chopped up and rearranged, either manually or through granular techniques, to create a particular sound world. The theme of recycling of material is key to the unfolding of the work both at a performance level and during its composition.

Philip Reeder’s (UK) output moves in a beeline from handcrafted electronic music, to collaborative audiovisual installations, through to remixes and production. He is currently pursuing a PhD under Antti Saario funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council at University College Falmouth.
