This article spoke about what was going on with PRES. Their development in sound for spaces. The three-dimensional uses of sound and how we can interact and change the reception and digestion of sound. How it enhances or changes the perception.
Sound is found and happens in two-dimensional space. Sound can be described using three values that may be visualized in the form of lines mapped along the axis of time, the axis of frequency, and the axis of dynamics. This is how a geometric image of sound is created.
I found this quote to be insightful for my installation process. similar to the bansanta article this idea of how sound is digested in a gallery space or any other space. The four dimensions. Time, frequency dynamics and space. As well as the fifth dimension which is the mobile visitor. To think about sound in its most basic ways can allow for the opposite of simple decisions. For me it means when planning my installation I think more about how my piece is going to be consumed and the placement. What can I do to change these four dimensions to help enhance my vision.
PRES also spoke about how to present sound in space. Using fake rooms to give a sense of space with things such as reveberation and delays. As well as stereophonic placement of speakers. This will definitely tive me insight to how I want to present my installation as well. I intend of having a sound sculpture part of my work and the placement of sound is something I don’t underestimate.
Unlike in the concert hall, the piece does not unfold in time in front of a passive listener, but rather the listener can shape the piece depending on the path they take and the time they spend in the designed space.
Another really good thought for installations. The space is just as important as the sound installation. I have little experience with presenting work not in a digital space, apart from performance that is. I think all this theory of physical presentation of sound will help me in my planning stage. I have a few ideas I’m trying to narrow down and continue with.
