The work The day begins with a loud boom interrogates the manner and extent to which we are defined by our relationship to the physical environment, and the cultural import of the tools and techniques of production. Its imagery derives from a series of residencies in industrial sites, focussing notably on diamond cutting and the fabrication of automotive glassware. It follows the trajectories of the materials subjected to those processes, and presents the traces of human intervention of which those materials are both the object and the repository.

The succeeding reiterations of the ostinato the day begins with are treated graphically by its progressive effacement, evoking the tension in assembly line work between repetition and linearity, accumulation and exhaustion, trace and erasure. Such attrition is equally conveyed by the harsh, impassive, and architectural qualities of both the images and the music which accompany the text. The latter notably deploys a range of insidious effects, from the marriage of dissonance and unsettling rhythm evocative of the competing cycles of multiple industrial machines, to sensual and reassuring sonorities which are contaminated by their contrast with the harsh acoustic aesthetic elsewhere.
