Four Swinging Speakers (2020)

Four Swinging Speakers is a sound art installation utilizing four Bluetooth speakers hung from the ceiling. The audience is invited to walk around the space, with the ability to interact and swing the speakers.

As the speakers move back and forth, the listeners can hear how the sounds move around the space and how their movement plays with the sound’s movement. The work seeks to engage listeners through play, interacting with the speakers and each other. This engagement also makes the listeners the composer of the work, giving them agency as to how they experience the piece.
