Title: I have them still.
'I have them still' is a portable, self powered, sound sculpture.
It has a pre-programmed composition, however it has no pre-recorded sounds.
Installed inside the box is a small computer, sound system, batteries, and a concealed microphone. Each time the composition plays, it samples new audio from the microphone at various points during playback.
The audio is played back through a resonator attached to the inside of the box, which turns the surface of the metal box into the speaker itself.
These sampled recordings create the sounds for the work, and they are manipulated in a variety of ways to form the composition as it plays.
The timbre of the composition will always be site and time specific, it will change depending on the playback location and what is audible at that time.
The audio clip was recorded in my studio.
The composition is composed to loop, and is in a 5.28 minute cycle.
Dimensions: 160 x 350 x 170 mm (HxWxD)
