Vicki Hallett

I am an acoustic ecologist, sound artist, composer, musician and educator. I seek spaces with limited anthropogenic sounds including infrasound interactions. With an ongoing quest for sonic immersion and creative compositional devices with authenticity and inspiration I delve into an organic landscape of sound. I record sounds and create works which open the senses to rarely heard sounds existing within the environment and explores the spaces between hearing music and sound as a cultural experience and the aural vibration, not only within the being but beyond. I am fascinated by questions such as: How do our sounds impact our own beings and how do they impact ecosystems? How does another being perceive but a human may not? Can we attempt to hear the world as it is experienced by a particular organism? How do different animals in the same ecosystem tune into different environmental signals and how are these signals fundamental to their communication and signification? How can we hear beyond the limits of our hearing? I urge all to listen to the shifting harmonies of subterranean, aquatic and atmospheric sounds which reveal a wondrous world existing beyond our limited senses.
