I’ve tried to post this on the site about a thousand times, and by one thousand I mean about 3. The invites can be located @ http://www.auxylari.com/fermata3.pdf (it’s not actually fermata 3 either, that’s just a file save incrementation)

Any problems let me now ASAP and I’ll amend them by this afternoon.

Cheers



scaling down sound- control and intimacy

hi silencios,

anna and i (candice) are looking at how we can offer our stakeholders more control over the sound they hear – a way to manipulate existing sound in the city, in a particular space. we think that this personalisation of sound will make an intimate experience which becomes a form of respite or fermata in a soundscape of relatively large and distant sound. we already have a couple of ideas about how we will propose this for the next exhibition- to funnel sound into a small space (say like a sculpture with vents) and contain it momentarily, and  then letting it out at the users’ discretion ( if this is possible ?).  the other idea is about encouraging users to shut out city sounds by offering a medium for them to communicate their own sounds- for example a chinese whispers wall (interpretation open on that by the way).

what do you think – go on….
