Phantom frequencies
Multi-channel installation | 2025 | Duration: variable (in development)
A multi-channel installation in development, built around interference, resonance, and the acoustic gaps between intended signals.
The work listens to what a source leaves behind: room tone, cancellation, reinforcement, and frequencies produced by systems interacting in space.
Phantom frequencies - those that appear through cancellation, through room modes, through the interaction of systems that weren’t designed to interact.
Current development notes:
- Room tone as composition
- Interference patterns between multiple sound sources
- The resonant frequencies of empty spaces
- What remains when the primary signal is removed
Early experiments suggest the piece will use multiple speakers positioned to create zones of cancellation and reinforcement, allowing listeners to move through different acoustic territories.
Here, silence is treated as acoustic activity - room tone, cancelled signal, and frequencies heard only as absence.
