Sound installation


I believe that Sound, in a specific environment, can be highly evocative with many layers of meaning. People become part of the installation and interact with it, triggering sounds in an aleatory fashion.
Those sounds are drawn from different places and represent the interferences between my personal sound environment, the sound of my piano and my sound memories. It is also a metaphore of the paradox between artificial, mecanic and natural world.
Resituating them in an enclosed space suggests something of the internal confusion that people experience in life.

XHIBIT


The private view is tonight!
Yesterday, with the curator and the technician, we found a nice and cosy place for the sound installation, against the wall, in which we made a big hole for the wires.


The speakers are the result of a great collaboration with Catarina Chaby (also student in sound design at LCC).
Read more about our future collaboration on sound installations later, in summer projects.


The installation in itself is invisible, all the equipment is behind the wall, so we keep a bit of the "Mystere". Visitors have access to the "meringue mics" -they are contact mics sheltered in disguise...- they can touch them, walk over them, crush them down (...) and this is how the interaction happens.

Come to the installation to listen to your composition of sounds...
