Julie Rose Bower
Julie Rose Bower is a sound artist, designer and researcher working with Foley sound effects and autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) performance. She gathers a distinctive palette of up-close found sounds in artworks that centre the body, feelings and sensations via sensory experiences at a first-person scale. Using sound as a tool to map across the physical and the digital Julie Rose’s artworks promote heightened intimacy, relaxation and intersubjectivity. These works produce pleasurable qualities of texture, heft and ergonomic sensibility. Through staging sonic interactions between audience and performance, performer and prop this experiential practice produces strangely satisfying connections between bodies. Her work takes place across theatre, dance, gallery, site-specific, audio and online spaces and often features the creation of custom libraries of ASMR sound effects. Julie Rose regularly speaks and teaches about multisensory and inclusive sound practice and is in the final stages of her practice-based research Ph.D. in the Department of Drama, Queen Mary University of London.
