thenheturnedaround is an interdisciplinary sonic artist
based in tiohtià:ke/montréal

His work explores the intersections of popular music and avant-garde/experimental performance by working across sound, prose and visual media, the experimentation central to these works often being inspired by transient elements at the root of loneliness, hope and fleeting human connection. These explorations are further contextualized within the digital realm, the Jewish diasporic experience and post-capitalist ideals.

“you look just like someone i knew in a past life”

A sonic exploration of loneliness, self-worth, and meaningful connections in the digital age.

Incorporating poetry and both maximalist & minimalist production, “you look just like someone i knew in a past life” is an experimental effort to bridge pop music with both electroacoustic and acoustic composition.

Rainforest IV - 50th Anniversary Installation
Steel Rain Gauge With Transducer Stuck To It.

Fifty years after the original historic 1973 workshop installed by David Tudor and friends, a group of 13 sound artists learn about the piece through making, performing and discussing it.

Look How We Wander is a collaborative interdisciplinary exhibition exploring the intersections between the diasporic Jewish and the diasporic Palestinian experience - observing them both independently and as a function of the other.

The exhibit examines the existential oscillation between discomfort and hope, as experienced by Jewish artist Adam Ben David. Through a series of personal and religious recordings, Ben David works to distinguish between his faith and its politicization, specifically through the context of Palestinian erasure as a result of military violence and faithwashing.

These recordings echo throughout visual projections by Palestinian artist Lougien Dawoudiah. The screen-based projections capture her experience between grief, numbness, and survival as an exiled Palestinian in the digital age.

As the crank is turned, the audiovisual component is revealed while it continually loops for the duration of the installation. The faster the crank is turned, the louder and brighter the display becomes.

The table upon which the handwheel sits is crafted from olive wood, plastic tarp, pomegranate juice-dyed pine and recycled tin & aluminium. These materials are an examination of themes pervasive amongst both disaporic Jewish and Palestinian communities, such as displacement and temporary dwellings.
