Sound Room is a collaboration between Chicago based composers/sound artists Kyle Vegter, Ryan Ingebritsen, and Daniel R. Dehaan. Using custom built software and a complex, multi-channel speaker system they have created a unique and intuitive three dimensional sound spatialization system, specifically tuned to the acoustic nuances of the High Concept Laboratories space.
The trio of composers have been working intensively since mid September installing cables and speakers and developing the software necessa
ry to drive the system in various ways. They have worked with local musicians in guided improvisations in which the performers sound is distributed and affected in different ways as well as creating new composed work specifically for distribution in the space.
The evening length performance will be a continuous and ambulatory evening of sound in which you are encouraged to wander around the sound room listening to works from various perspectives with musicians performing on all levels and sound coming from all speakers. It is recommended that you try to stay at least 4 feet from the walls for an optimal listening experience but feel free to move throughout the “sound room” at HCL, both upstairs and downstairs.
FREE but you must RSVP (http://highconceptlabs.ticketleap.com/sound-room/).
