Thesis - Master of Arts, Creative Media
  • A Sonic Trilogy: Sound, Ostranenie and Social Consciousness (PDF) 
    This dissertation probes, connects and applies current research into sound, sonic semiotics and ostranenie (defamiliarization/enstrangement). The aim is to deploy the use of shock, counterpoint and incongruity to elicit the attention of a listener to trigger consciousness, provocation and thought, initiating a new perspective on the subject matter. Developing three short sonic works, I activate practice-led research methods to probe the use of sound, incongruity, defamiliarization and imagination to increase the social consciousness of the listener.
