I’ve been wanting to tell you-

mixed media installation
for microphones and loudspeakers

first iteration: Gallery of Quiet Sounds, Din of Shadows, Toronto, 2024

In this installation, tiny microphones and loudspeakers twist repeatedly in place while emitting soft clicks and sinewaves, moving in and out of phase with one another. 

As the microphones and loudspeakers swing near one another, their own resonant frequencies bleed into the sounds they create—causing a gentle wavering in their sinewaves and infusing the clicks with new tones.

Occasionally, these motions generate a brief moment of acoustic feedback, which in turn sparks the loudspeakers to alter the frequencies that they emit. The resulting, slowly-shifting sonic landscape aims to describe, from the point of view of the microphone itself, what it means to try to speak—and the beauty of connecting, however briefly, with others.
