A Static Place is about the journey of
sound. Between 1928 and 1932 the
earliest recordings of historically
informed performances of music from the
late Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque era
were etched into 78RPM records. I used
some of these records from my
collection, playing them back with two
mechanical acoustic HMV Model 102
gramophones. The initial soundwaves
produced back then by period instruments
like the clavichord, viols, lute,
hurdy-gurdy are read from the grooves by
a cactus needle to be amplified by the
gramophones diaphragm housed in a
soundbox. Those vibrations travel
through the tonearm which is connected
straight to the gramophones horn, which
releases the music to my space.Here the
sound is again picked up by a pair of
customized microphones and send to my
computer, to be transformed by spectral
analysis and convolution processes.
