Phloq

Suzanne Thorpe will be composing Phloq, an immersive and sensorial multi-channel work that explores field recordings and pattern data generated by the sound array created by a flock of birds taking off for flight. Through working with Pauline Oliveros and practicing the philosophy of Deep Listening, Suzanne has been inspired to add this environmental element to her work. Suzanne is a musician and composer who extends her practice with an ever-evolving set-up of analogue and digital software components. She has worked with many other artists as an improviser, and has performed at various venues throughout the US and Canada.


Suzanne Thorpe is an interdisciplinary artist-scholar whose creative research intersects electronic music, feminist and ecological theory. She interweaves critical listening practices with acoustic ecology, improvisation and technology to craft immersive sound engagements and creative research sites that question circulations of power within human and nonhuman systems.
