Déjà vu, presque vu, jamais vu: selected essays by DrSonique

This small collection of essays is drawn from multiple published sources and spans many years of my critical writings on the topic of sound-art and sound-sculpture. The majority of the texts are reflections upon my own creative practice in its attempts to embrace of the biological and environmental sciences and reflect upon our ever changing relationship to the ‘natural’ world.

I hope the reader will find these texts of some interest and will forgive me for the inevitable overlaps between one essay and another — also for the variations in style and layout which I have decided to leave in the original format(s).

Finally it is important to acknowledge that many of the creative processes and methodologies that underpin the development of the works mentioned are collaborative. Whilst several texts directly identify the principal collaborating scientists, technicians and artists, there are many others unannounced, who have lent their energy and enthusiasm toward the realisation of these projects.
