new audio work debuts

My newest piece, an audio wall scuplture titled Somnambulance (1), debuted this past Friday at the Review Studios annual residents’ exhibition in the studio gallery. It changed quite a bit from the first version that was being installed (posted here earlier in the week). The piece consists of 6 speakers mounted on the walls in a corner of the gallery with the speaker wires creating a sort of drawing as they are pulled over the top edge of the walls. A subwoofer is hidden behind the walls. The audio is a Dolby 5.1 track which allows the sounds to move throughout the speaker configuration. The audio is composed of 30 layers of sound appropriated from obscure mid-century soundtracks and spoken word.
