Ever wondered, or tried to figure out why some music, or sound makes you feel utterly happy, or deeply moved? Why, when you listen to it, its beauty or its rightness makes everything else fade into the background, or, at least, feel more manageable? Or, why its haunting impact makes you feel lonely and depressed?
It’s been an ongoing subject in our conversations over the last couple of years. It’s also the core focus of a practice-led fine art PhD of one of us. We set up Whiteblack00 to release the records produced as part of this PhD and to broaden our conversations about subjects that matter to us.
We are Alexandra P. Spaulding and Gerrie van Noord.
Alexandra is an American artist, currently based in Glasgow. She is exploring the potential of sound in immersive installations. Combining the visual with the sound or music she creates or composes, she aims to create environments that have the potential to evoke ineffable experiences.
Gerrie is interested in the translation of ideas from one language and / or medium into another and the potential for a creative act or work to exist on different platforms simultaneously. She’s worked with a wide range of artists, curators and writers over the last twenty years, and also teaches at various institutions.
