Such listening experience allows for a phenomenological connection with the remote site, which becomes particularly relevant for t

Recombinant Soundcube

Ringing through connected disconnected spaces to form a new continuity.. The Recombinant Acoustic Hypercube is an augmented sound sculpture that creates a live, hyper directional, reflective acoustic space. It consists of n number of 'nodes'. Each node is a real space, for example a room or a hall, with real acoustic features. Each node is connected to the combined space via a microphone, a loudspeaker and an audio network device (basically a very sophisticated phone/modem w
Audio Tunnel

Audio Tunnel

Ringing through connected disconnected spaces which is a new continuity.. Rooms, each with microphone and loudspeaker, are daisy-chained in a directional live audio tunnel: each individual space, is a node and is able to receive audio from another node through the internet and play it into the space through a loudspeaker, record the reverberations and other ambient sounds of the environment and send it back over the internet to the next similar device with super subtle laten
