collaboration with Michael Winter
Harmonie Universelle is a performance-installation that reimagines the history of acoustics as an experimental music practice by considering the experiments, technologies, and observations of early acousticians as modes of composition, instrumentation, and listening. The project combines historic scientific instruments reinvented as musical instruments, acoustic experiments restaged as musical compositions, and texts and images by Hermann Helmholtz, John Tyndall, Sophie Germain, and Marin Mersenne, among others, read and projected as artistic observations and poetic reflections on sound, culture, and history.
