Doppler. Dedicated to audacious applications for technologies old and new alike, Figgis is commissioned to make a sonic response to the unique architectural spaces of Beaconsfield. Soundtrap will be available as an installation.
Soundtrap I: Daniel Figgis' Doppler
Part of Architecture Week (http://architectureweek.org.uk/)
Daniel Figgis' Doppler is an acoustic re-imagining of the architecture of
Beaconsfield, London¹s most innovative project space for contemporary art.
The first in a new series of sonic commissions Soundtrap the DOPPLER
sound installation is derived directly from a series of ambient sound
recordings made within the three discrete galleries.
For the patient and attentive audience, passing from room to room will
reveal the sonic reflux of the building itself, allowing them to create
their own unique sound experience. This sonic exposure may be further
developed through a free downloadable sound archive at
http://www.beaconsfield.ltd.uk/sountrap that will allow visitors to create
and recreate their own personalised DOPPLER adaptations and archive.
Soundtrap is conceived by Beaconsfield as a new portfolio scheme for
commissioning sonic works.
