Site-responsive live sound installation for Murmur 

+++

MIRRORS Aalst employs two large concrete acoustic sound mirrors reminiscent of those constructed by the British military on the southern coast of England during the inter-war period. In this work, two mirrors are oriented in an inward facing configuration over the expanse of the town square in Aalst, Belgium. Each mirror has a microphone at its centre, amplifying and regenerating the sounds of the environment through two speakers positioned to sound recursively back into the focal point of the mirrors.
