Motifs et moirés

P-A Gauthier, 2012

Motifs et moirés is a new spatial sound installation from Philippe-Aubert Gauthier that explores the audible and spatial defaults inherent to digital loudspeaker array technology in the contexts of both individual and group listening. The listener's movements and positioning within the installation influence the unfolding of a spatial pattern containing both distorted and clear sounds.
