Trémula, 2014

Trémula is a sound-kinetic installation created for the LE STI BI cycle of sound interventions curated by Mexican artist Roberto Arcaute. The work was exhibited in the courtyard of the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de la Ciudad de Oaxaca.

The installation consists of a device that intermittently places four strings at different vibration frequencies from which hang several microtonally tuned air bells. When shaken, the resonant sound generated seems to cover the audience who circulates below. The result is a subtle sonic coloration that, when merging with the patio’s natural soundscape, seeks to enhance the acoustic characteristics already present in the space.
