Rory consider himself more of a musician rather than sound artist. His music is formed through experimentations with electronic instruments, field recordings, amplified objects, cassette tape, feedback and voice. He is motivated by a relationship to changing and chaotic environments, objects and scores made from walking.  As an artist he works mostly with walking, text, feedback systems and participatory projects, often with a focus on actions and performance scores. (CRiSAP, n. d.) He is converting his drawings into musical compositions. Drawings here work as a form of score.

Ecka is an artist whose work intersect between music (cello, horsehair harp, voice, eggflute), performance and sensation (scent). She moved to London in 2020 to pursue career in Sound Art however after the start of pandemic she had to find an alternative and started to work in laboratory with scents creating perfumes and perfumed candles. Her cello composition ‘Study of a flame’ was inspired by observing the flame of a perfumed candle, its movement and smell inspiring her to compose a cello piece. The process made her question: ‘Can the process be reversed?’ This doesn’t include only the burning flame of candle but also its scent.

Ecka started to develop sound inspiring scents and perfumes noticing details from the object and its environment (f.e. tree) inspiring the subject (the perfume). She thinks about scents as about notes and sound waves and her invention consider to be Intersensory recording device and provides the form of synaesthetic experience.

‘Some perfumes are loud‘ and at the end of the day… ‘the scent and sound are both airborne’.
