Sound Sculptures

come closer variable, 7" x 7" x 4" each (porcelain, small speakers, LED, microprocessors running custom-created software)
The idea for these pieces came from an encounter I once had while hiking. The sun was casting shadows through a yellow leaf that had fallen on the ground. The leaf and shadows were all very small and intimate but the luminescence and translucency of the leaf made it absolutely stunning! I kneeled down to take a photo and managed to snap two before the sun hid behind a cloud taking the shadows and yellow radiance of the leaf with it. I was very lucky to catch that brief display.
The pieces in this series are made of translucent porcelain that allows some light through it. They are illuminated from within with LED lights. They also emit a single sound (a sine or pure tone), each of a different frequency. The lights and sounds in each box are both controlled by a microprocessor that gradually ramps them up and down in a coordinated fashion but at random intervals. The behaviour in each box is independent of the other boxes. The whole display is quite hypnotic.
