"Tappingscales" is a series of tape concrete works that embrace a sculptural and temporal process of deconstructing and rerecording with reel to reel tape. The series' content is initially structured from symmetrical and asymmetrical percussive rhythms, tapping and striking springs, wooden blocks, and glass. The rich harmonic colorations are the result of distortions and feedback loops, tape delay, oversaturated spring reverb, and varying tape speeds. Throughout the series, these rhythmic/harmonic platforms further evoke awkward interventions from the human voice and french horn articulations.  All of the recorded passages in the Tappinscales periodically unite with tonal harmonies torn apart with frequent, textural interruptions--a constant (un)balancing act of interweaving spatial constructions with opaque and aggressive sonic punctures. 

Sound artist/experimental musician, installation artist and painter, JS-Horseman (Jeremy Santiago-Horseman) works with microphone recording, modular synthesis, noise, acoustic instrumental and vocal composition, with an emphasis on the recording formats of tape concrete and experimental vinyl recording processes. Horseman considers his work as spatial architectures of light, color, texture, pattern, and shape, which conjure subconscious apparitions, uncanniness, and hidden narratives. 

Born in 1981, Maryland native, Horseman received his M.F.A Studio Arts degree from Syracuse University in 2016, where he focused in and sound insatllation. His multidisciplinary work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally, having participated in international exhibitions/venues in New York, Los Angeles, Syracuse, Baltimore, Jerusalem, and Moscow. Jeremy currently lives in Pennsylvania, U.S, where he continues his painting, installation and sound art practice.
