Using surface resonators to deconstruct church bells into their component notes I | The image of a Prism-Bell. | ||
Using surface resonators to deconstruct church bells into their component notes I excite particular frequencies in a bell and play them individually. This gives the bell a alternate dynamic character. The traditional striking of the bell is replaced with careful and directed excitation opening up many possibilities. This semester I developed the project from the initial idea through to application with the support of the Bell Museum in Aploda. | |||
Newton experimented with glass prisms revealing to us the varied wavelenghts that make up white light- The colour spectrum. | |||
This work explores the formal surfaces of sculpture and the emotional immediacy of sound. The bell acts as a prism, at once both a point of focus and dispersion. | |||
