Re:inventing the Wheel is an exploration of sonic possibility. It is centred in listening in between and beyond the expected. it’s finding sound in the margins, in the overlooked, in the spaces between deliberate notes. This isn’t about creating a finished piece, but about the raw potential of listening to transform found objects, and redefine what an instrument can be.This assemblage is a temporary map of acoustic curiosity, where everyday objects become unexpected instruments, and listening becomes an act of attention to the process rather the final outcome. The work remains open. Always in process. Always listening.
