Konstantinos Karathanasis

This acousmatic composition is an offshoot of the sound design for Daren Kendall’s installation and performance Resonance + Relay, as it was presented in the Lightwell Gallery at the School of Visual Arts at the University of Oklahoma in 2016. The majority of the sounds in this piece derive from a sound sculpture loosely resembling a monochord: a steel piano string stretched on a twisted metal tube resting vertically on a squeaky metal base, amplified by a contact mic. Other sounds came from the tools the artist used to build the installation. All sources were processed live in various degrees through GRM Tools and SoundMagic Spectral plugins by Michael Norris, producing materials that lasted for more than two hours. During the installation four speakers diffused these sounds in the gallery by using weighted probabilities and Markov chains in MaxMSP. This stereo version arranged in ProTools contains a small subset of the original installation sounds. Study on a Monochord and the sound design of Resonance + Relay were partially realized with funds from the Dean’s Circle, Weitzenhoffer Family College of Fine Arts at the University of Oklahoma.
