Berlin Wall (Peal) (installation) , 2023Sound, guitar practice amplifiers, electronics01:15

While living in Germany during the summer of 2023, I collected audio samples from the Berlin Wall by attaching a contact microphone to the exposed rebar of the original sections of wall and then hitting the rebar with my finger. The resulting resonant sounds resembled the bells that regularly chime around Europe. I arranged the sounds in intervals based on standard carillon peals used at times of celebration. A wall of amplifiers plays the various peals at random intervals creating a cacophonous noise.
