Listening to the Reflection of Points

Toshiya Tsunoda


In order for a sound wave to be heard as sound, various physical and qualitative attributes must interpose.
Using the reception of footsteps as metaphor, Tsunoda’s installation features a table with small speakers and corresponding numbers of everyday objects. A sound wave moves through the speakers at fixed intervals, exploring the changes a sound wave makes to a fixed space when it progresses towards objects, collides with them and is reflected. As such it becomes an index for the fixed space, and generates changes as it moves. These changes are perceived by the observer and appear as occurences. Reception of these occurrences means that the state of the space has been grasped, thereby completing the change generated.
Toshiya Tsunoda’s work is internationally recognized for its unique and conceptually rigorous take on sound installation and field recording. Born in Kanagawa, Japan in 1964, Tsunoda received his MFA from Tokyo National University of Fine Art and Music.

Empty Vessels

ALVIN LUCIER

Empty Vessels (1997) belongs to a series of works in which Alvin Lucier studies the resonance characteristics of the smallest interior spaces. He has placed eight glass water containers and vases on pedestals along the space’s south wall. Microphones are placed in the openings of the empty vessels, and each is rooted through limiters to speakers. The eight loudspeakers are positioned exactly opposite, along the space’s north wall. The amplifier in each microphone-loudspeaker system is selected in such a way that each strand of feedback is marked by the resonant characteristics of the respective vessel. This creates a controlled feedback field of resonant tones and their interferences in the ANX gallery space. When entering the field, the visitor disrupts the delicate balance of the system, creating new feedbacks with unexpected frequencies. Even a small head movement is enough to hear a multifaceted, fluctuating spectrum of pitches. Realization: Nicolas Collins and curator: Carsten Seiffarth. Read more about Alvin Lucier and his program in Oslo during the Ultima Festival.
