“A sound installation by Simon Fisher Turner accompanies the visual elements of Feedbackloop. To create the piece Fisher Turner recorded the noises of the Kopp?s studio while sitting for a portrait ? the swish and click of the brushes, the rummaging sounds associated with looking for a particular tube of paint, the percussion of the palette-knives, snatches of conversation. He then looped and layered these sounds, stretching and compressing elements into a composition which creates a sonic environ- ment that complements the paintings both aesthetically and conceptually.
