Vidro
The experiences collected in this album are carried out with several devices: a double function generator, two speakers, a glass surface and a contact-mic. By crossing series of infrasound, the inaudible emerges to our conscious perception through the mediation of glass, which gives contours to the vibration and resonance that it induces by its vibratory activity. Vibrant within oneself, transparent, glass brings us back to body experience ; in this it is the ideal material for any “fixed” device (mobile devices having to overcome the difficulty of transporting glass, due to the difficulty of moving large surfaces, or quite simply due to the fragility of the material). The sound speed wave propagation in glass is extremely fast (5 950 meters per second, compared to 1 520 meters per second in sea water and 330 meters per second in air), which makes glass a material that makes us, in real time and without latency, contemporary with the audible and the inaudible. The propagation of sound ...
