Sound installation, Gaudeamus Muziekweek, Utrecht, 2012
With Tijs Ham
A cloud hanging mid-air above a grand staircase. Like a real cloud collecting moisture, it gathers the environmental sounds of the space around it. When it reaches a threshold it can no longer contain, the sounds fall — processed into a composition that adjusts itself according to the intensity of surrounding noise.
The soundscape changed and accumulated over the full duration of the festival. It was never the same twice and you couldn't hear what it would become.
I made this with Tijs Ham as part of Soundlings.
