Sound
Ball 4 is a sound work built into a perforated stainless steel
tea ball. Made in collaboration with Eric Chenaux (a Toronto based
musician and composer) for a series of performances with his band
“The Tristanos”, each Sound Ball has a unique sound
work made with recordings of the musicians in the band. These
recordings were then treated with an effects pedal and recorded.
When turned ON, the Sound Ball lights up in the spirit of a disco
ball. Audio loops vary between 60 seconds and 2 minutes. Sound
Ball was used as a percussion instrument for the performances.
