Technical Description

Two identical two-part electronic communication systems consisting of custom-built synthesizers, light sensors, and audio peripherals. Each unit is constructed from construction-grade plywood and includes embedded light sensors, LED lights, and loudspeakers.

A large vertical plywood panel serves as a projection surface for light and shadow. Spotlights directed at the panel surface activate embedded light sensors through changes in light intensity caused by physical obstructions. Integrated speakers amplify the resulting polyphonic, scale-tuned drone sounds. One speaker set amplifies locally generated notes, while a second speaker set amplifies audio transmitted from the remote unit.

Audio signals are transmitted between the two locations via an internet connection using a laptop equipped with an LTE connection and high-fidelity VoIP streaming services. The system enables real-time, bidirectional audio transmission between the two separate installation sites.
