ABYECTO – Sonic Environment is currently on display at The College of Architecture + The Arts | Miami Beach Urban Studios. The original 3D-printed installation and musical instruments of ABYECTO are created by Eric Goldemberg, Associate Professor of Architecture with MONAD Studio and a design team made up of FIU Architecture students John Gioello, Stephanie Colon, Matt Barnard, Manuel Perez-Trujillo, and Jack Garcia. MONAD Studio created a three-dimensional mural that serves as a sonic environment for the performances of Jacob Sudol. The surface of this complex topological environment is further activated and becomes interactive using computer-generated sounds created by composer/computer musician/professor, Jacob Sudol. These sounds are emitted directly through the 3-D printed sculpture by means of handheld transducers that activate the installation as if it were the cones of a speaker to fill the space with constantly changing fields of sonic activity. Multiple performers will explore the installation with sounding transducers around the work in a performance of a new work by Jacob Sudol titled “. . . spaces to listen to from within.” Participants will also be able to engage with the installation by touching the sounding transducers against the sculpture to personally explore the work’s complex resonant structures.
Also we want to present another musical instrument reinterpreted by MONAD Studio.
MONAD Studio Piezoelectric violin
Something different for spicing up the foggy Sunday… Strictly for the gothic music? 2-string piezoelectric violin: one of 5 instruments designed by MONAD Studio, Eric Goldemberg and Veronica Zalcberg with musician Scott F. Titled ‘MULTI’ the installation will interweave the sonic artifacts within a backdrop/framework activated by piezo mics that metamorphose into a complex meta-instrument in the tradition of the one-man band.
