Media Files for: The Kerf of Sound

<b><i>The Kerf of Sound</b></i>
<br>This dissertation explores "kerf"—the width of material removed by a saw blade—as a conceptual framework linking material-driven experiences in instrument making to philosophical questions of absence and presence. The text extends kerf beyond a physical consequence of woodcraft towards a suggestive, destructive parameter that connects dual creative research: "composing instruments" made from wood and wire, and composing "Tinnitus Music" in response to hearing impairment.
