A kinetic sculpture defined by the interplay of a line of moving sound and light sources that work together to create an ever-shifting audio-visual landscape.

Inspired by our innate sensitivity to the location of a moving sound (no doubt deriving from a vital primeval survival instinct), Phase Shifter plays with sound, form and movement in physical space.

The work consists of an array of suspended moving ‘orbs’ (1). They are choreographed to collectively define an evolving series of movement sets and forms in physical space. Each orb also emits sound, determined by its position. As the orbs move, morphing from one form to another, so new harmonies, phase patterns and chords emerge, defined by the form they are sonically reflecting. The result is a meditative evolving soundscape, where each form has its own emerging mood and a sonic timbre.
