Rather than considering physical space as a neutral container for sound, this practical demonstration explores space as an active compositional force. Challenging the notion of music as a self-contained object placed within a room, the work proposes a more entangled relationship between sound, architecture, and perception.
The IKO - an innovative 20-faced loudspeaker system - is not simply a source of sound but a spatial instrument, inseparably connected to its surroundings. Here, the environment becomes part of the composition itself: dynamic, responsive, and continually transformed through sonic interaction.
Experience the IKO loudspeaker activated within the Engine House through a practical demonstration of its distinctive spatial qualities, revealing how sound can move beyond conventional listening experiences to shape, inhabit, and reconfigure the spaces around us.
