Video of installation/experiment(1 hour 30 minutes) - 5 minutes
 

Sound affects our experience of place. Would this still be the case in such an overpowering landscape as the beach at Annat? I was waiting for a fine day but one didn't come so exposed to driving rain I took my ghetto blaster down to the beach and videoed and sound recorded myself playing different types of music on the beach. Music as a pose to sound sets up very definite experiences of duration, and I wanted to counteract this in the video and sound recordings by drawing the viewer back to the real time the experiment was happening in.
