Elementary Structures

Multi-channel installation | Soundscape composition | 2022

Geophonic sounds emerge from the fundamental elements of our planet: fire, water, earth, and air. This installation focuses on these inconspicuous yet essential materials, without which Earth would not exist.

These sounds have resonated on our planet since its inception and will continue as long as Earth endures—even if biophony and anthropophony fall silent. Constantly present around us, they often go unnoticed by the naked ear or seem as natural as the air we breathe. By arranging processed and partially synthesized sounds across multiple channels, the installation consciously plays with spatial perception and the recognizability of the original sound sources, forming an abstract narrative. The close-up acoustics of the elements and their distinctive spatial movements create a uniquely spherical atmosphere, offering an immersive experience.

The subtle soundscape provides access to elementary sounds that you would otherwise not hear in reality from this perspective. From the macrocosm of a beetle to the expanse of a forest clearing, the different spaces are explored, and an immersive sound experience is created.
