the 100” Hooker Telescope
September 23rd through 25th CM Hausswolf’s Freq_Wave project bringing artists together to present the Frequency Spectrum of human hearing in 12 frequency bands.
The sound installation was only interrupted one time on the 23rd for performances by Lawrence English and Minoru Sato during a special evening under the stars. Guests experienced observation of the stars while hearing the works by:
15–30 Hz Greg Anderson (USA)
31–65 Hz Jana Winderen (NO)
66–90 Hz Minoru Sato (JP)
91–140 Hz Jimena Sarno (AR/USA)
141–180 Hz Bethan Kellough (UK/USA)
181–250 Hz Tom Recchion (USA)
251–350 Hz JG Thirlwell (AUS/USA)
351–500 Hz Alba Triana (CO/USA)
501–1000 Hz Jónsi (IS/USA)
1001–2000 Hz Lawrence English (AUS)
2001–5000 Hz Yan Jun (CN)
5001–12000 Hz Richard Chartier (USA)
which built on each other to occupy our full range of perceivable frequencies and combine to make the collaborative piece inspired by the Pacific ocean and it’s mystery in comparison with the space beyond.
Martín Carrillo matchining levels and frequency responses for the many speaker types used in the installation.
Martín Carrillo’s 12.1 surrounding system integrating 5 models of Meyer Sound Speaker arranged in a clamshell around the space gave the artists a variety of speakers in sizes chosen each to complement the range of frequencies and to allow separation spatially of the content on those different bands. Meyer Sound Matrix3 provided 24 channels of playback and Spacemap panning.
