Philip Sulidae - Perplexor (2020)

Perplexor is a deference and conjecture for past and present sound. For buildings, places and possibilities; isolated through maps, images and text. Composed in 2019 from found audio, field recordings from webcams and sonic fragments, it reveals a soundtrack of archaeological remnants and shadows.

Utilizing auditory negative space as a compositional device, Perplexor is suggestive of place and time; of moments found and lost once again. The shape and foundation of past and present are revealed through a grainy, auditive mosaic.
