An early work of mine incorporating live performers and fixed electronics, Solid State is an examination of the increasing permeation of technology in all aspects of our lives.

Composed entirely out of manipulated recorded sounds by the cello and violin, combined with a live cellist and violinist, I attempted to twist the acoustic recordings into digital corruptions of their acoustic counterparts, attempting to draw a similar thematic line to the distortions of our human voices and identity via amplified technology platforms.
