“Quantum Echoes” will explore the notion of the eternal through a multi-channel sound installation. How can the effects of sound shift our perception from timed to timeless? Directly enacting Pauline Oliveros’s “Deep Listening” theories, John Cage’s philosophies on silence and meditation, Steve Reich’s method of gradual composition, and Karlheinz Stockhausen’s thoughts on the self-contained moment, the installation will blur our boundaries of time and space.

Both “musical” and “non-musical” recordings taken from unrelated times and places will be compiled into a singular, but evolving composition. A variety of processing techniques that “stretch” sound will be applied as to give the illusion of expansion, reflecting the perceptual shift from “focal” to “global” attention.
