Nadoe delves into the use of editing techniques to reconstruct sound, drawing on the tangled impressions of memories, experiences, and imaginations that emerge during the process of listening to sounds produced through their body.
Gradually, the original sound is transformed into something entirely new, with the entire dialogue between the artist and technology being recorded as audio. In this work, the artist employs analog methods of listening, specifically using cassette tapes, to create a more engaging sensory experience compared to the convenience of digital music. Analog listening involves physical actions such as unwrapping the cassette tape and examining the booklet, offering a sensory experience akin to reading a physical book. By embracing the slowness and delay inherent in the analog process, the artist aims to capture and re-sense elements that are often missed in today's fast-paced world.
This exploration encourages the audience to reflect on the richness of sensory engagement and the value of slowing down to fully experience sound and its nuanced transformations. Through this approach, the artist invites a reexamination of how we interact with and perceive auditory experiences in the digital age.
