SHIPWRECKS
Hoskin & Clark
Hoskin & Clark blends the traditions of free jazz with the raw energy of noise-punk in a distinctive experimental practice. Improvisation lies at the heart of their work, combining acoustic and electronic sound sources with unconventional instruments to create immersive, unpredictable sonic landscapes. Shipwrecks represents their most fully realized and thematically cohesive work to date.
The companion experimental film (1:15 mins) is a non-linear audiovisual meditation—a stream of consciousness where fragmented images glide, superimpose, and fade, mirroring the emergence, intersection, and disappearance of thoughts. It is not a narrated story but a pure sensory experience, with sound and image fusing inseparably to evoke the raw rhythm of thought between clarity and chaos, resonance and silence

As If the Sea Should Part
“As if the Sea should part
And show a further Sea—
And that—a further—and the Three
But a presumption be—
Of Periods of Seas—
Unvisited of Shores—
Themselves the Verge of Seas to be—
Eternity—is Those—”
Emily Dickinson
Hoskin and Clark challenge the distinction that is made in conventional musical practices between musical and non-musical sound. They perform a range of musical styles and sound-based creative pieces that feature improvisation as a primary aspect with acoustically and electronically generated sounds, and both traditional and unconventional musical instruments.
Hoskin et Clark remettent en question la distinction qui est faite dans les pratiques musicales entre sons musicaux et non musicaux. Ils effectuent un gamme de styles musicaux et de pièces créatives basées sur le son qui mettent en vedette l'improvisation comme aspect principal avec l'acoustique et l'électronique sons générés, et musiques traditionnelles et non conventionnelles instruments.
