I did some artistic research on the psychology of Introspection through sound art and music for more than a year now. The results are three pieces, two of them combining generative music, chance operations and field recordings. The third one is a composition using field recordings.

The psychology of Introspection is necessarily a psychology of perception, because there is no Introspection without perception of the environment. There is a dialectic of the perception of the inner self and the perception of the outside world and this dialectic is what Introspection can explore. Introspection, thus, is always a response to the outside world, to the environment by looking into ourselves. But what does ‘looking into ourselves’ mean? What does ‘ourselves’ mean? The self is not a monad, but rather an interface, an interface transporting, transforming, translating into both directions. Perception is Introspection and Introspection is perception through this interface. The self is a process. The self is transition. The self is fluid.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF INTROSPECTION will be released on July 5 on my Bandcamp. It’s now out as a pre-order: Album pre-order
