A LISTENING SPACE / AFTER HOURS

Less noise.

feeling.

A frequency becomes a shape. A shape becomes a feeling. Slow down, tune in, and find the room inside a sound.

A listening object.

A circular spectrum surrounds the cut disc. In silence it follows a composed rhythm. Press Listen to feed it the actual tone.

A NOTE ON AUDIO
THE VESPER PERSPECTIVE

Listening is what happens when we stop trying to fill the silence.

Three ways into a sound.

THREE CHAPTERS / ONE EXPLORATION
Meet a single note.

FIG. 01 / VESPER
01 / FUNDAMENTAL

Meet a single note.

Before a melody there is a frequency: a repeating movement, asking for a little time. Start low and move slowly upward. The sculpture translates that change into a visible rhythm.

Tune the frequency; sound remains off until you choose to listen. Back to the instrument ↑

FIG. 02 / VESPER
02 / COLOUR

Give the note a grain.

A sine wave is almost a line without a shadow. Triangle and soft square add edges to the voice. Harmonics change the shape of a sound without changing its home.

Change the voice and spread. Listen for up to ten seconds at a time. Back to the instrument ↑

FIG. 03 / VESPER
03 / SPACE

Let the sound leave.

The last part of a note belongs to the room. A pause gives the ear a chance to remember. Keep a small record of your settings, then notice what the silence sounds like.

Save a listening note, or stop the tone at any time. Back to the instrument ↑

YOUR TURN / A STUDY TO KEEP

Leave room for a little silence.

Your settings stay here. Save a file to take them with you.
