scales

Scales is a site-specific sound installation for my studio at the Nordic Artists’ Centre Dale, Norway. It consists of three architectural wooden models of the studio’s interior in scales 1:20, 1:26.66, and 1:33.33. Each model contains a loudspeaker and a microphone pointed inside, creating an audio-feedback loop that generates a steady, drifting drone. The pitch depends on the resonant frequencies of the space, allowing for “tuning” through precisely scaled models to produce a defined interval of three tones. The sound interacts with the studio’s acoustics, forming a constant dialogue. The mouth, a large horn loudspeaker is capturing and projecting the studio’s sound into the outdoor environment—acoustically linking the spaces, inside and outside making the building speak.

the project was developed during a residency at Nordic Artists' Centre Dale, Norway
