<div><b>Material Soundsystems </b>explores the possibilities of forging symbiotic and dynamic connections between the seemingly opposite properties of sound and matter. This research is bought together in 3 new projects, <b>Mute,</b> <b>Ecstatic Material and Bloom </b>where live performative experiments are conducted to test how sound animates materials and materials create sound.<br><br>This item contains a document outlining the artist's working process, 2 short films, 1 animated gif, and 20 images of drawings and working methods.<br><br>This item documents the processes involved in the development of <b>Ecstatic Material</b>. These include initial static drawings from 2015, early plastic bubble experiments, schematic drawings, designs and experiments with pump systems; material tests with composed sound in the studio in 2018 and final testing of backdrop and soundsystem arrangements at Karst before the first <b>Ecstatic Materia</b>l performance in February 2019.<br><br><b>Photography: Dom Moore, Keith Harrison.
