Smallest Sound at the Biggest Distance

The Smallest Sound At The Biggest Distance is a composition for a continuously growing orchestra. Anyone who owns the packaged composition with the score and the instrument becomes a performer in this orchestra. The composition has a beginning but no end. Every time a performer plays the score, the composition continues. The time interval between the individual events can range from a few seconds to a few years. The distance between the performers can vary from very close (in the same space) to very far (on two sides of the globe).

Monoid a.k.a. My New Speaker

Kinetic speaker installation based on the construction principle of a gyroscoop, with the 360º freedom of rotation on three axis. The relationship between the sound source, in this case a moving speaker as the sound object, and the space is explored in a form of a dialog. Noise bursts, rising and falling pitched sound, and text fragments taken from a poem by Brion Gysin are projected in all possible directions in the space.

Construction: Quirijn Smits, Niels Steigenga, and Robert Pravda

The Leslies

De Leslies:'Soundtrack voor een imaginaire film, nr. ##

Live performance/installation with multiple loudspeaker-objects obtained by repurposing the Leslie speaker, which is the sounding component of the Hammond organ. After having been hidden in the cabinets of Hammond organs for decennia, now these Leslie speakers find a new life. The relationship between the sound source, in this case the moving speaker as the sound object, and the space is explored as medium for creation of an immersive soundscape.
