Mary Edwards

Mary Edwards is a composer, musician, and sound artist who uses the medium as an environmental or architectural element to enhance a listener’s spatial-sensory, historical, and ecological awareness. Themes of temporality, impermanence, nostalgia, and the natural world recur throughout my work. All sounds are habitable, and have the potential to be transformative once you get inside them. In my process, I tend to respond cinematically to their constructional and emotional aspects by locating a narrative and cultivating a soundtrack one may associate with acoustic intimacy. It is an extension of my relationship to the natural and human-made environs, its community, and their histories that reveal themselves in these spaces I explore, each being simultaneously intimate and immense.
