Lisa’s body of composition, sound design, and installation work includes a multi-channel sound and light installation incorporating river + light data mounted in an old mill ruin, a series of 32-channel electroacoustic “scans” inspired by her experiences with MRI machines and a head injury, a moving song cycle based on myths derived from Ovid’s Metamorphoses that incorporates live granular synthesis and an XBox Kinect, a site-specific multi-channel piece made exclusively out of the recordings of grain and presented in a silo, soundscapes and sound design for audio driving tour of Mississauga, and an arduino-modified rotary phone to “call the moon”.
