OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE STRUCTURE OF THE SQUARE WINDOW
Compound Yucca Valley, part of the exhibition micro/MACRO curated by Lara Wilson
February 2 - March 15, 2020
For this exhibition I created a new piece incorporating a microtonal composition and my research of psychoacoustics, oto-anatomies, + perceptions of sound and space. The result is essentially two-fold: sound and drawing.
Some of the questions I asked myself in the process:
How can the modes in which sound is perceived become as or more important than the sounds themselves? How can using specific tones in a composition create a greater experience than the parts themselves?
The piece as a whole is entitled <<Observations Concerning the Structure of the Square Window>> a play on the title of an early book written about the anatomic structure of the ear's own 'round window' by Antonio Scarpa in 1772.
I will upload more visual and sonic documentation of this piece soon.
materials used: the window at Compound gallery, vinyl decal, speaker transducer, a mini amp, speaker wire.
