the sun is quiet today is a poetic document of a performance combining mixer feedback, loop pedals, vocals, violin, and musical saw. During the performance, sound activated a basin of water tuned to its own resonant frequency. As the basin vibrated, a projector bounced light off its rippling surface, distorting a single shot of water flowing outside. The piece became an unstable conversation between body, instrument, and elemental force.

 

The resulting video was installed in the subterranean cellar of a historic dairy farm. Once a site where creek water flowed in to keep milk jugs cool, the cellar became a resonant chamber for this work. There, the projection refracted across stone and water, tying the work to histories of sustenance, preservation, and passage.

 

By splitting performance from site, the sun is quiet today bridges the ephemeral with the archival. Sound and image are mediated through water, a medium of distortion and memory. What emerges is not a document of clarity, but of echoes—an invitation to sit with quiet disruptions, where the ordinary becomes spectral and strange.
