Sonus, 2021. Marine plywood, galvanised steel, analogue circuit.
Exhibited at the 2021 NOX Night Sculpture Walk, Randwick Environmental Park.

Sonus is an interactive sound work producing drone frequencies through an analogue circuit.

Performing as both sculpture and musical instrument, the piece works in collaboration with artist Allan Giddy’s proximal sound installation Zephyr. Sonus creates a three-dimensional sonic space which can be explored and experimented upon, with the physical simplicity of the plywood boxes transformed into resonant tonal complexities. The application of the stylus on the boxes completes the analogue circuit, generating a scale of different notes across each area of the work.

Sonus is a critique of the proliferation and pervasion of urban noise.
