A Room Listening to Itself
Sound installation by Adam Basanta is a room fitted with microphones and bare speakers listening to itself, creating a soft ambient feedback:
In A Room Listening to Itself, sound is produced exclusively through the physical relationships between microphones, reclaimed speaker cones, and the gallery’s surrounding acoustic environment. Using the aural phenomena of tuned microphone feedback alongside recursive amplification networks, the gallery space is turned into a giant resonator that amplifies its acoustic activity and inactivity as a product of spatial relationships. Custom-built computer software constantly re- calibrates the room to ever-changing acoustic situations, aiming for a sonic equilibrium that remains out of reach.
