Yesterday evening was the first of 3 events all of which afford the visitor time to see and hear John Wynne's installation, Beating Tones and Flapping Wings. As with John's previous installation at Beaconsfield and now at the Saachi Gallery, this is a visually arresting sound art piece.
John uses a 440Hz sine tone on each of 30 cassette players which create Beat Frequencies in the listeners' ears. Another phenomena, the Shepard Tone produces in the adjacent room is broadcast back to the radio/cassette players in the first.
I was interested in the exploitation of the sonic effects as I have been dipping into Sonic Experience for inspiration on the application and effect of other sonic phenomena that I can employ in my project.
