3D Ceramics – A Surface of Sound
Solid Vibrations is a collaboration between Ricky van Broekhoven and Olivier van Herpt. Ricky specializes in sound design. His projects are often landscapes of noise that live briefly in the mind. To combine the temporal sound driven nature of his work with 3D Printing would let noisescapes become things. A moment in time, a song a sound, they can now become objects that encapsulate the moment forever. Vibrations turned into shapes by the 3D Printer. A specially constructed speaker rig mounted below the build platform produces very low sound.
These amplify and create Moiré patterns on the 3D Printer. Olivier had noted previously that the printer produced Moiré patterns naturally. This error was an interesting one. Rather than eliminate it, he turned to sound designer Ricky and teamed up with him to see if they could make objects from sound waves.
The Embodied Soundscape – Signe Lidén
As I often work with field recordings of sites, I have been thinking a lot about how to merge the sound into a new “site”. I started to work with sound because of its spatial qualities. I realized that sound makes it possible to perceive many places simultaneously, and even better combine outside and inside objects and spaces at the same time. The rearranging or composing of the recorded sounds are in a way an embodiment of multi-temporalities.

The Wave Organ in San Francisco
The Wave Organ in San Francisco, is a wave-activated acoustic sculpture located on a jetty at the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, 83 Marina Green Dr. The concept was developed by Peter Richards and was installed in collaboration with sculptor and master stone mason George Gonzales. Both men were artists in residence at the Exploratorium in 1986. The inspiration for the piece came from artist Bill Fontana’s recordings made of sounds emanating from a vent pipe of a floating concrete dock in Sydney, Australia.
The Sea Organ – Morske Orgulje
Morske Orgulje (Sea Organ), an architectonic musical instrument built in Zadar, Croatia, and created for playing sound as it is triggered by sea waves that arrive at the coast.
One can think the sea sound it is already a wonderful and rich sonic ecosystem, which is true. However, it is also curious to see how man’s appropriation of the territory from a sonic perspective, affects not only the space as such but also the mental feeling towards it. In this case, the sonic meeting point is a 70-meter space, divided in 10 sections of 5 tubes, tuned into specific musical notes. When the water strikes the system underwater, the tubes are activated, emitting chords and melodies as natural forces act.
