BOOM
BOOM is an interactive electroacoustic project.
It consists of a boom microphone suspended from the ceiling of a
room.
Speakers in the room produce samples from the
microphone based on the level of input, and other program based
factors. The function of a boom microphone is to record a sphere
of sound without interrupting a frame of vision. it also represents
portability; the ability to record in any geographical space.
Sound within a given space is affected by the attributes of the
space's acoustic architecture. further, these attributes have
an infinite effect on infinite sounds; every sound produced in
that space is unique. By taking moments of sound and looping them
back to the participant and making visible the microphone, BOOM
encourages listeners to think about the diverse sounds that happen
in every environment.
BOOM was first exhibited at V01D,
an exhibition at Plymouth Arts Centre in 2001. The piece was also
documented in the publication that accompanied the exhibition. Download
