Sounding the Air is an aeolian instrument, a musical instrument that is "played" with the wind. Its audio is produced by v threads of spider silk that drift and resonate with the air.
Real-time video captures the gestures of these "strings", translating them into sonic frequencies and patterns. These sounds in plough influence the pulsating lights illuminating the work Webs of At-tent(s)ion, creating resonant harmonics between the dissimilar spaces.
Sounding the Air thus constitutes a collective cosmos improvised past an ensemble of forces and bodies: the radiant heat of human bodies, or the flurries and tremors created by the flux and breath of visitors but also the endless intra-actions of unlike aerial elements — dust, silk, heat, wind, spider, electrostatic force. Together they create a cascade of influences that transform the rhythms of the fluctuating silk threads.
In this immersive sonic environment, every subtle movement alters the compositional whole. Thrown into this audio-visual dialogue, each of us becomes musicians in an atmospheric jam, collectively inventing an improvised score.
Sounding the Air draws inspiration from the phenomenon of spider 'ballooning', a behaviour in which some spiders apply airborne dispersal to move betwixt locations. They release several silk threads into the air which carries them abroad on updrafts of winds. Individuals or colonies are able to travel long distances on those aerial kites of gossamer silk, buoyed by thermal updrafts and electrostatic forcefulness. Those flights let u.s.a. to speculate nearly the possibility of a collective aerial flying and of interspecies attunement and collaboration with the forces of the atmosphere.
"There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres."
For the most part throughout history – cognition has fatigued its associations from the visible, physical world. Pythagoras had proposed another level of understanding, which drew from sound: both aural and inaudible. Merely as pitch, frequency and harmonics can exist defined by mathematical rations, and then he proposed that the movements of the stars produced their own cosmological harmonics; inaudible to us, just all the same felt.
How might a Pythagorean view of the world accord to contemporary cosmology? According to modern string theory, quarks and electrons – the smallest bodies of thing – can be visualised as sub-microscopic 'strings' that vibrate, much as a musical musical instrument does. The 'tone' at which each of these strings vibrate determines their physical form.
The world, then, is humming: vibrating with signals unheard and unknown: electrostatic, electromagnetic. These sounds are panaural, and their translation is both a affair of technics, and a function of attention.
Inaudible to you without an appliance for translation, this electric hum of the Earth makes the legs on my hair stand up on end – and so giving me a measure of my aeronautic potential. Equally I prepare to accept flight and release a thread of gossamer silk to the wind, I feel into this thrumming electrostatics. I become an aerial electroreceptor, sensitive to the music of the spheres.
Only as an Aeolian harps play the whistling of the current of air, so each floating thread of silk becomes a receiver for the musicality of circulating electrical energies.
Spiders are aeronauts, travelling across seas and scaling impossible heights, all buoyed on plaited kites of gossamer silk threads. What if these threads were in fact antennae, tuned to the unheard signals with which the air hums?
