Work Sample 1:

Psychoacoustic

Divination:

A Sonic Tarot Mind Map

2024. Paper, tape, tarot cards, resin. 8 x 6 feet.

This work shows my research into each card's essence, mapped out on the Tree of Life. The text on the Tree of Life stems from my studies of Qabalah and insights from tarot experts such as Eden Gray, Mary Greer, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Jason C. Lotterhand. This piece is an entryway into the larger project where I translate their symbolism into intricate sound profiles.

Sonic Tarot Profiles #1:

Psychoacoustic Divination

2024. Sound with a visual guide. Total Duration: 3m2s.

The Fool, 27s; Wheel of Fortune, 30s; Temperance, 38s; The Devil, 42s; The Moon, 32s.

Shifting to the sonic incarnation of Psychoacoustic Divination,

I've begun collecting, recording, and composing

sound profiles for the twenty-two Major Arcana Keys.

As I refine each composition, I'm seeking a deeper understanding of

the emotional and symbolic resonance

of the combined sounds. These interpretations will form

the basis of a unique divination tool.

Once the deck is complete, I will host public tarot readings,

and my guests will walk away with a personalized soundtrack of their readings.
