Vorstellung (2024)

Emmanouil Kanellos

"I had the privilege of collaborating with Ross on two visual music projects, and it was an inspiring experience. He’s an exceptionally talented sound artist who combines professional-level compositional skill with deep theoretical knowledge. Ross also has a strong sense of the visual dimension, intuitively shaping sound to match the mood and concept of each piece. He brings original ideas, thoughtful suggestions, and a clear understanding of what each project needs. Overall, working with such a creative and insightful artist has been a real pleasure."

This was an interesting project which blurred boundaries between music and environmental sound within a virtual industrial world. I enjoyed the opportunity to experiment with shifts between rhythm-led passages of pounding machinery and other sections which emphasised gentler, more diffuse environmental sounds of winds and impressions of distant mechanical activity.


This project was presented as an immersive visual music installation at the Queen Anne Undercroft at the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich, in June 2024. The installation expanded into two connecting rooms, each utilising different types of immersive technology.
