Ben Vida presents Damaged Particulates
With /Damaged Particulates/ the experimental musician and composer Ben
Vida delves into the enveloping world of
“direct bass”. Utilising a four-channel, twin-sub sound system and 25
individual SubPacs , a tactile audio system
placed on each audience members seatback, which directly transfers low
frequencies to the body, this highly detailed and immersive piece for
electronics examines the dimensional and spatial qualities of analog and
digital synthesis.
Damaged Particulates is a work that oscillates between performance,
installation and sculpture, and is experienced as much by touch as by
hearing. Originally commissioned for Unsound Festival NYC, this new
version explores further the possibilities of multi sensory sonic
reception.
Damaged Particulates is a project in partnership with Unsound Festival
2014 , Subpac, the Electronic Studio of TU,
Faculty of Audio Communication, Berlin, curated by Manuela Benetton in
collaboration with LEAP.
