In Wonderful, Marvelous, the audience is invited into a room filled with the sound of a floating female voice and sonic feedback. One senses fragments of recognizable melodies from songs that envelop the World War II era. The music is overtly of love, desire, and sometimes serene optimism. At the same time, the songs are encrypted with politics and disillusion and a gaze towards empowerment.

While moving around within this generative soundscape in the gallery, the audience inevitably affects the acoustic response, while getting caught in the seductive tensions of song and feedback.
