Fall is a 6 channel sound installation. It turns the dominant metaphors of stereophonics over to their head. Sounds of elements seem to surrender to the laws of gravity as grains of sound fall down the column of loudspeakers.
Sounds are played back through 6 hanging loudspeakers. Treatment of the sounds, arrangement of stereo pairs and a custom built cross-fade device create a set of illusions of sounds falling down.
Technical Requirements:
Loudspeakers are fed from 4 cd players on random play.
All the 8 channels are amplified by car stereo amplifiers which are fed with computer power sources (110V-230V to 12 V).
The footprint of the installation is 0,75m x 0,75m and the height 3,50m – 4,50m.
