The SINE WAVE ORCHESTRA stay

The SINE WAVE ORCHESTRA has chosen to dedicate their work to the sine wave, said to be the most basic sound and therefore called pure tone, containing neither overtone nor noise but a single frequency. This work is defined by the interplay of visitors: Each spectator is given a small device which can play a sine wave and asked to choose its frequency and position on one of the columns of copper wire in the attic.

Muted Situation #22: Muted Tchaikovsky’s 5th
Samson Young (HK)
This is how Tchaikovsky’s 5th Symphony can sound too: keys click, sheets of music rustle, and bows sweep tonelessly over strings. By “muting” the foregrounded sound event, a surprising amount of previously unnoticed sounds can be heard in this performance. In Muted Situation #22 – presented as a 12-channel audio installation – Samson Young’s idea is to suppress the dominant voices, uncover the unheard, and point out basic principles about hearing and sounding.
