Talking Gongs
Album BE 2017 on Edições Cn label
Electronic, Spoken Word and Classical (Experimental)
Talking Gongs is an installation in which automatically resonating gongs hang in two metal frames. The gongs function as loudspeaker membranes that translate pre-recorded vibrations into sound. As the signal alternates between both gongs, these disk shapes seem to communicate with each other. With this installation I found a way to translate the electronic sounds that I play on a modular synthesizer to a museum context. Vibrations make reverb while traveling through the shiny metal alloy of the gongs. This enhances our spatial sense of the twodimensional disks floating in the cubes. – F.V. Materials: orchestral gongs, frames, cable, resonators, amp, soundtrack. Dimensions: 1 or 2 cubic meters for each gong. Placement: the visual and auditory integration of the gongs in the environment is part of the work. The gongs can stand or hang, inside or outside. Talking Gongs was originally produced by LLS 387, June 2016, Antwerp, Belgium. Limited edition of 300 copies. Offset printed digipacks.
