- Which installation did I like most, and why?
Bas Burghard’s unthinkable electronic instrument
Bas Burghard wanted to create an electronic instrument if it were to be designed in a time where instruments like that were unthinkable. He started out with printed circuit boards using natural materials (such as stone and wood) but noticed that the installation made electronic sounds he already knew. Which lead to him making the installation sound more “natural”.
It really felt natural when I was standing in front of the installation. Somewhat calming too between all the noise of the other installations in the Concordia exposition. The installation also had a natural look and didn’t appear to be out of this era, the future or the past. It was something new.
The speakers were also placed in such a way that, due to the interference of sound waves, you were able to experience a somewhat different sound of the calming bass when displacing yourself from left to right in front of the installation.
the combination of the physics, technology used to create this installation and the calming sounds it produced between all the noisy other creations, is why I liked this installation the most.
