This Is 7 Cups, 2 Microphones, and a Speaker is a composition that is just that: two microphones being places into seven different cups to create feedback. The various shapes of the cups produce different feedback tones, thereby allowing me to create somewhat random sounds over which I had little control. During quarantine, I found myself growing debilitated by my inner creative critic, questioning the seemingly arbitrary nature of art at large. I landed on this composition as it enabled me to lose control and to feel present with sound.
