Zbigniew Karkowski: “From an extremely real point of view, in the heart of our physical existence, we are made of sound and each display of shape in the universe is nothing but sounds that took a visible form.”

The creation of an ecosystem of sounds will be at the heart of this residency. The basic idea relates to reconstructing a soundscape made of objects that will become sound sources with the help of transducers. Each object, thanks to the choice of the materials used and its shape is going to serve as a sound box and is going to have its own sound identity, a sort of representative of its variety. The objects are going to interact between themselves. The objects are going to be put in an environment and their sounds are going to mix and react also depending on the reflections and the acoustics of that space.

We would like to revisit the work of David Tudor Rainforest. Sounds are electronically derived from the resonant characteristics of physical materials. The source sounds, when transmitted through the physical materials, will be modified by the resonant nodes of those materials. A collaborative environmental work, spatially mixing the live sounds of suspended sculptures and found objects, with their transformed reflections in an audio system.
