Kate De Lorme is a Sound Artist from the Okanagan - currently living on the traditional territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and səlil̓wətaʔɬ peoples, aka Vancouver, BC.
Kate’s work integrates immersive sound landscapes, sound healing and guided meditation. She graduated from the University of British Columbia in 2015 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring in Theatre Design and Production and has a certification in Audio Engineering. Kate has been working in sound design since the age of 16, highly involved and interested in sound’s effect on an audience.
As a professional sound designer, her work has been primarily in live performance with a large focus on contemporary dance. Kate’s designs are inclusive of high-caliber recording and editing, composition, programming, live mixing and interactivity. In 2018, Kate was an Artist in Residence at The Spatial Sound Institute in Budapest, Hungary for two months, where she created her debut solo work Sta/g-mos. Sta/g-mos premiered at MONOM in Berlin, Germany, in September of 2019.
Sta/g-mos
Sta/g-mos is an accumulation of research done by Sound Artist Kate De Lorme during her two months as an Artist in Residence at the Spatial Sound Institute in Budapest, Hungary.
An exploration in aligning physical and metaphysical bodies, this work looks to explore sound’s fundamental connection to the body. The artist’s interest was piqued through researching the ancient practice of resonant sound healing, and how it has resurfaced throughout history in many different and globally diverse forms. It is theorized that one can align specific frequencies to resonate with the body’s energy centres, which each have their own emotional and physical attributes. It is this theory that propelled Kate’s research with spatial sound and it’s ability to connect deeper with the listener.
Using the 4DSOUND spatial sound system, surrealistic soundscapes and harmonizing frequencies work with the listener’s body to manifest tactile sound. Sta/g-mos is a guided meditation and immersive four dimensional audio journey - a truly unique and profound experience.
