100 Metres is an audiovisual work commissioned by Crash Ensemble and New Music Dublin.
It deals with one of my main fascinations in music which is creating multiple perspectives of material. In this piece the concept can be likened to a kind of photocopier where we experience reduced, original and expanded forms of a source.
This concept is applied to both the music and visuals to create one connected experience for the viewer/listener. The visuals which contain changing viewpoints of choreographed hand movements interchanged with olympic athletes reflect, echo and at times contrast with the perspectives of the music.
