This Maze of Screams and Whispers is as Unsettling as it is Arousing

October 2, 2018 by Peter Hustedt

Rafael De Cardenas, visionary designer, and Sahra Motalebi, sound artist, combined to bring an eerily unsettling, yet super aesthetic environment based on the design of the maze, entitled AMAZE. The space itself looks like a David Lynch movie combined with mid century modern design, and the sound is a wild, interactive vocal-only sound scape by Sahra Motalebi. … [Read more...]

The Negative Space of Sound

June 5, 2014 by Shaun Farley

Guest Contribution by Jeff Talman Seong Moy, my drawing professor at City College of New York, had students lightly shade their sketchpads with hand-smeared charcoal to prepare a background for the drawing.
