A sound installation by Alex Potts
Curated by Carlos Marulanda
Through a canopy of 100 gourd speakers, form and vibration combine to create a unique sensory
experience of enveloping sound and otherworldly song.
Entwining the natural resonance of gourds with multi-channel electro-ambientmusic, this sound sculpture
fuses organic vessels and technology in an
extraordinary way. A dynamically changing sound score has been created from the acoustic samples of
the gourds as well as electronic music
that utilizes their reverberant characteristics. Additionally, live input is collected
from gallery visitors and embedded in the sound score. The installation
is intended to travel from gallery to gallery, collect sounds from different
environments and accumulate a collective memory of sound.
