Sally Decker and Brendan Glasson present a new multichannel sound composition, ouroboros--which sets Audium's, one-of-a-kind, 176- speaker space as the foundation for their exploration. The piece uses acoustic feedback as a primary source and central guiding principle, sonically symbolizing the ouroboros, or snake eating its own tail. Come listen for the wavering spaces in-between crystalline tones. Autoharps, guitars and singing create eerie, ethereal landscapes that will leave you vibrating long after the show.
About their process, Decker notes:
Right before feedback finds stability, or "bottoms out," there is an unknown, fragile space where the feedback is searching for stability. This is where you find wavering spaces in between two tones, or the changing of paths from one frequency to another. In our piece we are interested in these states right before we find stability, where we are still looking. This searching quality is perhaps the mystery in the feedback and the sounds we have generated in response: the sounds are going somewhere, but they are still in process. We are looking around corners, searching for all the pathways available to us.
Sally and Brendan are a featured artist duo at Audium, where artists are offered a unique opportunity to explore sound movement, texture, and spatialization for a two-month residency and performance series. Unlike any other theater in the world, Audium is an instrument, played by the artist who controls in real time where the sound is projected and from which bank of different types and sizes of speakers. Featured artists at Audium design and sequence their own original recordings and then perform the sound movement live in a series of weekend shows.
