OBJETS ET SON

Sebastián Alos, Sin título (sonorización de una caracola de mar).

Une conque avec un petit micro dans son intérieur, à travers les écouteurs on perçoit la rumeur de mer de l'intérieur du conque.

(photographing the singing sands sliding down in an avalanche).

Sabulation, Jacob Kirkegaard, 2010.

The "Big Star" dune. This is an immense dune located in the north of Oman, very close to the borders of the United Arab Emirates.
Jacob Kirkegaard recorded it with an accelerometer, burying it in the sand.

Lenses, Dawn Scarfe, 2008.

Wine glasses are used as lenses to focus sound and light. Glasses are arranged in a pattern across a wall, and small speakers hang over the rims. A soundtrack compiled from recordings of the glasses plays through every speaker, but each glass resonates most powerfully in response to its own sound, amplifying and re-sounding it.

Tree Music, Dawn Scarfe, 2006.
Seventeen speakers, tree, electronic sound.

Small speakers hang over the branches of a tree. The movement of the tree in the wind causes the speakers to sway and gently modulates their sound. Shifting patterns of light, rustling leaves, and passing planes are important elements of the composition, which invites engagement with the surrounding soundscape.
