The Resonant City is an interactive sound installation. In the piece, industrial metal junk and scrap are transformed into instruments using contact microphones. The installation reveals hidden layers of music and sound embedded in the urban environment.
The recording is from the 2002 installation.
Objects are collected intuitively and spontaneously on the same day and suspended from wires so they hang freely. Contact microphones are attached to the objects, and their signals are routed through effects processors, creating a continuous ambient collage. Participants play the objects by tapping and manipulating them, engaging directly with the mute secrets of the city.
