Response Characters exhibition opening

Join us at the Auricle for the exhibition opening of Response Characters by Ted Apel.

The installation features six tubes that are used to impart strong resonances on sound recording and playback circuits in each tube. Each circuit independently alternates between recording sound and playing back its recording. The sounds recorded are a combination of the sounds produced by the other tubes, the ambient sounds of the space and, the resonance of the tube. In this way, the combined soundfield is an emergent property of the five tubes, that is, each tube’s sound is dependent on the contributions of the others.

Ted Apel is a sound artist whose sculptures and installations focus on the audio transducing element as the source of visual and sonic material. He has exhibited his work at sound art festivals and exhibits in the US, Poland, Canada, Austria and Gernamy.
Ted Apel received his M.A. in electroacoustic music at Dartmouth College and a Ph.D. in computer music at the University of California, San Diego. He currently lectures in Electronic Music / Sonic Arts at the New Zealand School of Music, Victoria University, Wellington, New Zealand.

The Auricle warmly invites you to a performance by Tim Coster and Adam Willetts, performing solo and together as Awesome Vortex.

Born in Auckland, Tim Coster currently resides in Melbourne, working as a musician and sound artist with a particular focus on published audio releases and live performances. He records and performs using modular synthesizer, cassettes, and other electronics to create melodic and textural sound environments.

Adam Willetts is a local Christchurch artist, who works in both the visual and sonic arts. Using a modular synthesizer he composes and performs live electronic music crafting percussive and textural pieces that are raw and minimal yet ceaselessly shifting, fracturing, collapsing, transforming and evolving.
