Pedalling Seasides is a sonic bike experience for seaside town Kijkduin, the Netherlands, made by Matthews during a two week residency there. Reflecting the invasion of human artifice in natural landscapes, the work inspires solo or communal riding, running north east along the dune bike paths from the town and south west to the sand engine.
Discovering a unique and surreal atmosphere, Matthews recorded locally, also sampling & processing 70’s sci fi TV music and her collection of fairground organs. Layering the results with alpha waves, she morphed them into an encapsulating bubble from which the sonic bike audience riders would burst to begin their journey.
One of the most linear and surreal of Matthews sonic bike works so far, ‘Pedalling SeaSides’ even manages momentary bike to helicopter transformations.
