The water tower in Växjö is a popular place for excursions, singers and spirituals. The forming echo below the tower is unique. Not only an echo is created, but an audio space in which the echo can be heard, but if you step out a few meters, the experience is over. The echo is sensitive - sounds can be amplified and the smallest movements can be heard loudly, at the same time loud sounds are distorted and unpleasant. Speech is not recognizable as such. This place, the center of the tower should be the exhibition place of the experimental sound - a ritual should be created here.
MAKING THE RITUAL PUBLIC
Those standing in the vault opposite can also whisper words to each other through the echo.
Audio testing inside the echo.
Two audio sources were installed @ the echo tower. One was in the center of the echo and consisted of the speaker voice announcing the start of the ritual, as well as the part where the choir speaks and makes noises. The other audio source was placed outside of the echo space on the edge of the tower - between concrete and grass.
Slightly obvious metaphor for now and the world which is speculated on. Nevertheless, it was mysterious and vague for the audience.
Exhibition 06/22
It was more a prototype of an exhibition.
