For their second major recording project Host, Australian sound artists Anthea Caddy and Thembi Soddell rigorously shape aural representations of physical environments to express psychological experience.Recorded in scientifically controlled spaces and unpredictable natural and man-made envi- ronments, sampler and cello interact to generate acoustically opposing atmospheres.Interwoven with abstracted found sounds, instrument and environment merge to create a dy- namic interplay between physical reality, sensory perception and psychological interpreta- tion.Host presents an edition of tense electroacoustic compositions that define new, dense, and sonically detailed environments that highlight and shadow the interaction between human psyche and the physical world.
