In my sound work, microphones are very important. A microphone captures sound and turns it into a signal that can be recorded, processed, or amplified. It doesn’t just record— it also shapes how we hear and feel the sound.
I use microphones to capture natural sounds and created sounds. I also like to use special microphones, such as hydrophones to record sounds under water, or other experimental mics to explore how sound changes in different environments. Choosing the right microphone and placing it carefully helps me highlight textures, distance, and space.
Microphones can also be used as instruments themselves. By tapping, scraping, or moving objects near a microphone, or by using feedback and amplification, I can create new sounds and rhythms. This lets me treat the microphone not just as a tool, but as a creative part of the music or soundscape.
Microphones are also creative tools. By changing their position, direction, or sensitivity, I can make some sounds stand out, bring out small details, or make the space feel bigger. They help me control how listeners perceive sound and create immersive experiences.
In short, microphones are more than recording tools—they are bridges between the real world and the listener, and can even become instruments themselves. They let me explore and shape sound in both technical and creative ways.
