The four-channel audio piece extends through four discrete spaces, divided by huge doors. Although acoustically disconnected, each channel acts as a voice of the whole composition, which can never be heard in full. The sound work with its infinite, dense and swirling harmonic drones fills each hall with a kind of resonating silence, causing a spatial experience that challenges parameters of the visual impression. Different sound sources are used in the process of creating the piece such as sine-wave oscilllators, prepared harps, tuned bottles and flutes.
