Have to share this wonderful piece of art with you guys. Made by Tristan Perich for Mikrogalleriet
300 small speakers drape the walls in linear and planar clusters, each emitting tones tuned microtonally to span distinct frequency intervals. these dense clusters of sound sources are the subject of a series of musical compositions, continuing perich’s investigations into the foundations of electronic sound. Each speaker, emitting a single, primitive 1-bit tone, becomes a microscopic voice in the total composition, substituting individual pitch for larger sonic masses.
