Sounding Circuits: Audible Histories

From the creator

Sounding Circuits: Audible Histories - Featuring a state-of-the art immersive multi-channel audio system surrounded by rare objects, artifacts, and recordings from the early history of electronic music, Sounding Circuits: Audible Histories explores the networks of composers and engineers - as well as the groundbreaking facilities and revolutionary technologies - that played a crucial role in the expansion of electronic sound from the 1950s to the present. Curated by Seth Cluett, current artist-in-residence at Nokia Bell Labs and Acting Director of the Computer Music Center at Columbia University, Sounding Circuits is presented in collaboration with the Department of Music at Columbia University and Nokia Bell Labs Experiments in Art and Technology. Throughout the exhibition, a rotating playlist of archival recordings will be woven together with a series of 360-degree audio works commissioned and created by Cluett during his four-month research residency with NYPL’s Music and Recorded Sound Divisions. Open now. Ends March 23rd, 2019.
