ARTIST STATEMENT
Impulse Irregularities is a 4-minute piece based on my household’s monthly electricity consumption chart from January until the end of August. This composition aims to reflect and examine the dynamics of the electric power usage within my living space pre-quarantine, and up until now, when the government-imposed community quarantine is still in place, more than 200-days in.
In this piece, a plethora of sonic elements ranging from drones, beats, sampled materials and gathered field recordings abruptly change their sonic characteristics from subtle to the extreme depending on the abrupt shifts in our electric bill, showing how we have been trying to adapt to the changes imposed by this so-called ‘new normal’ that’s full of uncertainties.
