Chamber Music is a series of site-
specific sound installations derived
from recordings of the empty rooms in
which the work is exhibited. No people
are present, so the only sounds recorded
are those that are incidental to the
building itself, or those that leak in
from outside. These recordings of
ambient room tone are processed to
isolate subtle resonant frequencies that
become the only materials of the piece.
Aside from equalization and gating, no
other electronic treatments or
instruments of any kind are used. Every
version of the piece is different, due
to the acoustic and architectural
characteristics of each venue.
Filtered Light was made in 2008 for the
University of New Mexico Art Museum, in
conjunction with the annual UNM
ComposersÆ Symposium. Fourteen
frequencies between 70 Hz and 3 kHz were
extracted from an unedited hour-long
recording made in the empty gallery.
That hour was divided into thirty-two
segments of varying length that
recombined randomly in the continuous
four-channel installation. The mix heard
here represents one set of possible
combinations. A low playback volume is
recommended.
