Lorella Abenavolile son de la montée de la sève dans un arbre au printemps, d’un érable
The idea behind this sculpture is to create a visual and sonic space where the rising sap in a maple tree in the spring will be heard. It will be achieved first by capturing the upward flow of the sap in the tree, then by recording, digitising, hearing, processing and finally broadcasting and “spatializing” it in a particular venue. Lorella Abenavoli will carry out the second stage of this the creation and prodcution of the sound peice—during a residency at OBORO.
