The Lullabye From the Sky sound installation was an exploration of random global and local sound and how these interact to change perceptions of environment. The installation was comprised of four compositions: "Lullabye From the Sky" (later released on CD) , "Location Music" (a collaboration with Ben Piekut), "Music For Variable Frequencies", and "Thought Music". Four different boxes contained sound-producing electronics. Each box contained holes for the audience to stick their hands inside, in order to interact with the sounds. The sound output was amplified both locally and globally (through mini-speakers and PA speakers) and triggered and/or modulated by sensors. The audience was both listener and performer.
A different version of this, without the boxes, was exhibited at The Smell on August 26, 2000, along with Come Into My Room. |
