by composer-producers Melissa Grey &amp; David Morneau, is a growing catalog of immersive audio documentation, recording the aural identity of decaying asylum interiors in 19th century Kirkbride Plan hospitals. We use an ambisonic recording technique to capture the activation of resonant frequencies in full 360º spatial surround. A series of recordings—each a recording of the previous iteration amplified by a loudspeaker—gradually reveal the humming resonance of a room’s dimensions and character.&nbsp;<br><br>These frequencies become part of the color of every sound activated in the space. It is an aural phenomenon that provides the ear spatial information. Our process captures the sounds in and around the asylum—summer insects, tolling church bells, and bits of decaying plaster falling to the floor. These sounds give a sense of place, immersing the listener in the sonic landscape of the resonating frequencies that would have softly imbued every sound of daily life for the patients, staff, and visitors in these buildings.&nbsp;<br><br>The innovative Kirkbride Plan, developed by psychiatrist Thomas Story Kirkbride, created therapeutic environments for the treatment of mental illness, providing unprecedented access to space, natural light and fresh air. Described as “America’s castles,” approximately 75 Kirkbride Plan hospitals were constructed throughout the United States and Australia, and only 36 of these massive hospitals remain standing today. We documented the Richardson Olmsted Complex (44,594 sq m) in Buffalo, New York, in August, and The Ridges (65,032 sq m) in Athens, Ohio, in October.<br></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!--

We use an ambisonic recording technique to capture the activation of resonant frequencies in full 360º spatial surround. A series of recordings—each a recording of the previous iteration amplified by a loudspeaker—gradually reveal the humming resonance of a room’s dimensions and character.&nbsp;<br><br>Our process also captures sounds in and around the asylum—summer insects, tolling church bells, and bits of decaying plaster falling to the floor—immersing the listener in the sonic space with the delicate drone of the resonating frequencies. These phenomena softly imbued the sonic experience of the patients and staff, coloring every sound of daily life in these buildings with complex histories.&nbsp;<br><br>The innovative Kirkbride Plan, developed by psychiatrist Thomas Story Kirkbride, created therapeutic environments for the treatment of mental illness, providing unprecedented access to space, natural light and fresh air. In the 19<sup>th</sup> century, 73 Kirkbride Plan hospitals were constructed throughout the United States. Described as “America’s castles,” only 30 or so of these massive hospitals remain standing today.<br><br>The Richardson Olmsted Complex in Buffalo, New York, is a 44,594 sq m (480,000 sq ft) Kirkbride Plan hospital.

Designed by architect H.H.

barbershop, bed room, dormitory) and in Female Ward C (parlor, corridor, bed room).&nbsp; As this project grows, we will document more unrenovated asylum interiors, including The Ridges—a 65,032 sq m

immersive audio documentation, recording the aural identity of decaying asylum interiors in Kirkbride Plan hospitals. We use an ambisonic recording technique to capture the activation of resonant frequencies in full 360º spatial surround. A series of recordings—each a recording of the previous iteration amplified by a loudspeaker—gradually reveal the humming resonance of a room’s dimensions and character.&nbsp;<br><br>Our process also captures sounds in and around the asylum—summer insects, tolling church bells, and bits of decaying plaster falling to the floor—immersing the listener in the sonic space with the delicate drone of the resonating frequencies. These phenomena softly imbued the sonic experience of the patients and staff, coloring every sound of daily life in these buildings with complex histories.&nbsp;<br><br>The innovative Kirkbride Plan, developed by psychiatrist Thomas Story Kirkbride, created therapeutic environments for the treatment of mental illness, providing unprecedented access to space, natural light and fresh air. In the 19<sup>th</sup> century, 73 Kirkbride Plan hospitals were constructed throughout the United States. Described as “America’s castles,” only 30 or so of these massive hospitals remain standing today.<br><br>The Richardson Olmsted Complex in Buffalo, New York, is a 44,594 sq m (480,000 sq ft) Kirkbride Plan hospital. Designed by architect H.H. Richardson with gardens designed by the firm of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, it opened as the Buffalo State Hospital in 1880; operated for 94 years; closed in 1974; was designated as a National Landmark in 1986; and from 2008 is undergoing a series of adaptive reuse projects.&nbsp;<br><br>In August 2023, we recorded resonant frequencies in Male Ward B (corridor, stairwell, barbershop, bed room, dormitory) and in Female Ward C (parlor, corridor, bed room).&nbsp; As this project grows, we will document more unrenovated asylum interiors, including The Ridges—a 65,032 sq m (700,000 sq ft) Kirkbride Plan hospital in Athens, Ohio.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:separator -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"/>\n<!-- /wp:separator

has-background\">Perception of physical space is informed by all our senses, yet often the character of a place is reduced to visual documentation. <em>Sound the Asylum</em> is a growing catalog of immersive audio documentation, recording the aural identity of decaying asylum interiors in Kirkbride Plan hospitals. We use an ambisonic recording technique to capture the activation of resonant frequencies in full 360º spatial surround. A series of recordings—each a recording of the previous iteration amplified by a loudspeaker—gradually reveal the humming resonance of a room’s dimensions and character.&nbsp;<br><br>Our process also captures sounds in and around the asylum—summer insects, tolling church bells, and bits of decaying plaster falling to the floor—immersing the listener in the sonic space with the delicate drone of the resonating frequencies. These phenomena softly imbued the sonic experience of the patients and staff, coloring every sound of daily life in these buildings with complex histories.&nbsp;<br><br>The innovative Kirkbride Plan, developed by psychiatrist Thomas Story Kirkbride, created therapeutic environments for the treatment of mental illness, providing unprecedented access to space, natural light and fresh air. In the 19<sup>th</sup> century, 73 Kirkbride Plan hospitals were constructed throughout the United States. Described as “America’s castles,” only 30 or so of these massive hospitals remain standing today.<br><br>The Richardson Olmsted Complex in Buffalo, New York, is a 44,594 sq m (480,000 sq ft) Kirkbride Plan hospital. Designed by architect H.H. Richardson with gardens designed by the firm of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, it opened as the Buffalo State Hospital in 1880; operated for 94 years; closed in 1974; was designated as a National Landmark in 1986; and from 2008 is undergoing a series of adaptive reuse projects.&nbsp;<br><br>In August 2023, we recorded resonant frequencies in Male Ward B (corridor, stairwell, barbershop, bed room, dormitory) and in Female Ward C (parlor, corridor, bed room).&nbsp; As this project grows, we will document more unrenovated asylum interiors, including The Ridges—a 65,032 sq m (700,000 sq ft) Kirkbride Plan hospital in Athens, Ohio.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:separator -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"/>\n<!-- /wp:separator

asylum interiors in 19th–century Kirkbride Plan hospitals. We use an ambisonic recording technique to capture the activation of resonant frequencies in full 360º spatial surround. A series of recordings—each a recording of the previous iteration amplified by a loudspeaker—gradually reveal the humming resonance of a room’s dimensions and character. <br><br>These frequencies become part of the color of every sound activated in the space. It is an aural phenomenon that provides the ear spatial information. Our process captures the sounds in and around the asylum—summer insects, tolling church bells, and bits of decaying plaster falling to the floor. These sounds give a sense of place, immersing the listener in the sonic landscape of the resonating frequencies that would have softly imbued every sound of daily life for the patients, staff, and visitors in these buildings. <br><br>The innovative Kirkbride Plan, developed by psychiatrist Thomas Story Kirkbride, created therapeutic environments for the treatment of mental illness, providing unprecedented access to space, natural light and fresh air. Described as “America’s castles,” 73 Kirkbride Plan hospitals were constructed throughout the United States and Australia, and only 30 or so of these massive hospitals remain standing today. To date, we have documented the Richardson Olmsted Complex (44,594 sq m) in Buffalo, New York, and The Ridges (65,032 sq m) in Athens, Ohio.<br></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:separator

These phenomena softly imbued the sonic experience of the patients and staff, coloring every sound of daily life in these buildings with complex histories.&nbsp;<br><br>The innovative Kirkbride Plan, developed by psychiatrist Thomas Story Kirkbride, created therapeutic environments for the treatment of mental illness, providing unprecedented access to space, natural light and fresh air. In the 19<sup>th</sup> century, 73 Kirkbride Plan hospitals were constructed throughout the United States. Described as “America’s castles,” only 30 or so of these massive hospitals remain standing today.<br><br>The Richardson Olmsted Complex in Buffalo, New York, is a 44,594 sq m (480,000 sq ft) Kirkbride Plan hospital. Designed by architect H.H. Richardson with gardens designed by the firm of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, it opened as the Buffalo State Hospital in 1880; operated for 94 years; closed in 1974; was designated as a National Landmark in 1986; and from 2008 is undergoing a series of adaptive reuse projects.&nbsp;<br><br>In August 2023, we recorded resonant frequencies in Male Ward B (corridor, stairwell, barbershop, bed room, dormitory) and in Female Ward C (parlor, corridor, bed room).&nbsp; As this project grows, we will document more unrenovated asylum interiors, including The Ridges—a 65,032 sq m (700,000 sq ft) Kirkbride Plan hospital in Athens, Ohio.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:separator -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"/>\n<!-- /wp:separator

asylum interiors in 19th–century Kirkbride Plan hospitals. We use an ambisonic recording technique to capture the activation of resonant frequencies in full 360º spatial surround. A series of recordings—each a recording of the previous iteration amplified by a loudspeaker—gradually reveal the humming resonance of a room’s dimensions and character. <br><br>These frequencies become part of the color of every sound activated in the space. It is an aural phenomenon that provides the ear spatial information. Our process captures the sounds in and around the asylum—summer insects, tolling church bells, and bits of decaying plaster falling to the floor. These sounds give a sense of place, immersing the listener in the sonic landscape of the resonating frequencies that would have softly imbued every sound of daily life for the patients, staff, and visitors in these buildings. <br><br>The innovative Kirkbride Plan, developed by psychiatrist Thomas Story Kirkbride, created therapeutic environments for the treatment of mental illness, providing unprecedented access to space, natural light and fresh air. Described as “America’s castles,” approximately 75 Kirkbride Plan hospitals were constructed throughout the United States and Australia, and only 36 of these massive hospitals remain standing today. We documented the Richardson Olmsted Complex (44,594 sq m) in Buffalo, New York, in August, and The Ridges (65,032 sq m) in Athens, Ohio, in October.<br></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!--

We experience the obliquity of our planet’s axis palpably, through the annual cycle of seasons, and this tilt also causes the Earth’s celestial pole to slowly revolve by 1º every 72 years, completing a full 360º rotation among a series of northern and southern “polestars” over a period of 25,772 years by a process known as the Precession of the Equinoxes.&nbsp;<br><br>Around 2200 years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus (190-120 BCE) discovered the Precession of the Equinoxes by utilizing the observations that ancient Babylonian and Greek astronomers had gathered during the years 3942 to 1793 BCE, when the northern polestar had been Alpha Draconis. Also known by its Arabic name Thuban, signifying “head of the serpent,” the star occupies the “head” of the constellation Draco, a position that held lasting influence on human affairs. Several dragon-centered myths became anchored to the North Celestial Pole, regardless of the gradual precessional drift toward the next polestar, Polaris, in 500 CE.<br><br>In Hipparchus’s own time there was not a true polestar, yet myths of a dragon/Draco-centered north star lingered. One myth recounts the Greek goddess Athena hurling a dragon into the sky during a battle, where it became fixed to Thuban. In another, the goddess Hera places the dragon Ladon in the sky as a gesture of respect after its defeat by Hercules, whose own constellation stands victoriously on the head of the constellation Draco. Although outmoded by Hipparchus’s empirical studies, these myths nonetheless remained fixed in the popular imagination.&nbsp;<br><br>Nearly 1800 years later, the protagonist of Shakespeare’s play <em>Julius Caesar</em> claimed to be as “constant as the Northern Star, of whose true fixed and resting quality there is no fellow in the firmament.” Yet, there was no “true fixed” northern star during Julius Caesar’s reign (49-44 BCE). Is this a mere anachronism, poetic license, or poetic justice, since such a reference to a non-existent polestar would have made the populist Roman Emperor more fickle than constant? What stories will be told of Polaris and Ursa Minoris after 2102 CE, when the precessional drift moves on toward the star Deneb, in the constellation Cygnus (The Swan), in 9800 CE? And thereafter to Vega, in the constellation Lyra, from 12,000 to 13,727 CE? Will anyone be available and aware in 20,346 CE to welcome Thuban and the polar return of the dragon?&nbsp;<br><br>The interplay of these terrestrial and cosmic cycles might seem eternal. Barring a cataclysmic event, the Earth may indeed continue to revolve around the Sun every Earth year, and our North Pole may continue circumscribing its path every 25,772 years. Yet, our universe is constantly expanding, and the relative positions of our planet, our solar system, and our galaxy are ever-shifting with respect to each other and every other point in the universe.<br><br>Consequently, we never occupy the same point twice in time and space. Even as we take comfort and disquiet in returning to the sensations and memories of seasonal rhythms and phenomena, we hurtle forward, buffeted by the unknowable. Similarly, the stars and dust of constellations are forever drifting, coalescing, colliding and dispersing to gather again elsewhere. Every instant in the universe is simultaneously a return and absolutely unique.&nbsp;<br><br>—Robert Kirkbride</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"style\":{\"color\":{\"text\":\"#559c5f\"}},\"backgroundColor\":\"white\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"color:#559c5f\">=^.^=</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":482,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"http://flowercat.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Robert6-lo-res-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-482\"/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">photo by Joy McKinney</figcaption></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"style\":{\"color\":{\"text\":\"#559c5f\"}},\"backgroundColor\":\"white\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"color:#559c5f\"><strong><a href=\"http://robertkirkbride.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Robert Kirkbride</a></strong> is a designer, musician, author, and professor who explores the interplay of memory, ornament, and placemaking.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->','Always Becoming','','inherit','closed','closed','','481-revision-v1','','','2024-02-02 14:47:07','2024-02-02 14:47:07','',481,'https://flowercat.org/?p=1038',0,'revision','',0),(1034,1,'2023-11-15 15:10:24','2023-11-15 15:10:24','<!-- wp:image {\"id\":1026,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https://flowercat.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/slide_11-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1026\"/></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"style\":{\"elements\":{\"link\":{\"color\":{\"text\":\"var:preset|color|black\"}}}},\"backgroundColor\":\"white\",\"textColor\":\"black\",\"fontSize\":\"large\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-large-font-size\"><strong>Sound the Asylum<br></strong>at<strong><br>Sensory Decay Symposium</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"style\":{\"elements\":{\"link\":{\"color\":{\"text\":\"var:preset|color|black\"}}}},\"backgroundColor\":\"white\",\"textColor\":\"black\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color\">November 3, 2023</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"backgroundColor\":\"white\",\"textColor\":\"black\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><em>An online forum from the ‘<a href=\"https://ahm.uva.nl/content/research-groups/archeology-architecture-and-the-virtual-past/sensory-decay-workshop-2023/sensory-decay-workshop-2023.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Sensing the Past’ Research Group</a> (University of Amsterdam), organised by Pamela Jordan and Sara Mura.</em><br><br>Sensing decay in a constructed environment is a multisensory experience.

A particular methodological challenge is how we, as sensory analysts across disciplines, can record our own often numerous but fast decaying experiences as avenues to questioning and interpreting the past, such as in experimental archaeology.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:separator -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"/>\n<!-- /wp:separator -->\n\n<!-- wp:file {\"id\":1030,\"href\":\"https://flowercat.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/2023-sensory-decay-symposium-program-s-1.pdf\",\"showDownloadButton\":false,\"displayPreview\":true,\"style\":{\"spacing\":{\"padding\":{\"top\":\"var:preset|spacing|20\",\"bottom\":\"var:preset|spacing|20\",\"left\":\"var:preset|spacing|20\",\"right\":\"var:preset|spacing|20\"}}},\"backgroundColor\":\"white\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-file has-white-background-color has-background\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https://flowercat.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/2023-sensory-decay-symposium-program-s-1.pdf\" type=\"application/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Sensory Decay Symposium program\"></object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-81975e93-556a-47d6-bfc5-071982d23097\" href=\"https://flowercat.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/2023-sensory-decay-symposium-program-s-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sensory Decay Symposium program</a></div>\n<!-- /wp:file -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"style\":{\"elements\":{\"link\":{\"color\":{\"text\":\"var:preset|color|black\"}}}},\"backgroundColor\":\"white\",\"textColor\":\"black\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color\">For access to video recordings, please <a href=\"mailto:sensory.workshop-fgw@uva.nl\" title=\"\">email the symposium chairs</a>.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:separator -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"/>\n<!-- /wp:separator -->\n\n<!-- wp:mcb/mailchimp {\"cId\":\"2da3a191-2\",\"config\":{\"apiKey\":\"\",\"audienceId\":\"937ebed041\"},\"elements\":{\"title\":false,\"desc\":true,\"fName\":true,\"lName\":true,\"icon\":true},\"content\":{\"title\":\"Subscribe to our Newsletter\",\"desc\":\"Sign up to receive occasional email updates about \\u003cstrong\\u003eSound the Asylum\\u003c/strong\\u003e\",\"button\":\"Subscribe\"},\"formBG\":{\"color\":\"rgba(255, 255, 255, 1)\"},\"btnColors\":{\"color\":\"#fff\",\"bg\":\"rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)\"},\"messageTypo\":{\"fontSize\":{\"desktop\":24,\"tablet\":15,\"mobile\":15},\"fontWeight\":400,\"lineHeight\":\"135%\"}} /-->','Sensory Decay','','inherit','closed','closed','','1025-revision-v1','','','2023-11-15 15:10:24','2023-11-15 15:10:24','',1025,'https://flowercat.org/?p=1034',0,'revision','',0),(1039,1,'2024-02-02 14:48:23','2024-02-02 14:48:23','<!-- wp:paragraph {\"backgroundColor\":\"white\",\"textColor\":\"black\",\"fontSize\":\"extra-large\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-extra-large-font-size\"><strong>Always Becoming</strong> (EPK)</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"left\",\"backgroundColor\":\"white\",\"textColor\":\"black\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><a href=\"mailto:hello@flowercat.org\">hello@flowercat.org</a> </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0;

When one is asked to spontaneously hum a note, the pitch tends to match the utility frequency, or mains hum, because this frequency is integrated into our perceptual habits. In North America and parts of Asia, this frequency is 60Hz, while in the majority of the rest of the world it is 50Hz. Bourdon—meaning drone and derived from French for bumblebee and buzz—invites the audience to tune their individual embodiment of this ubiquitous tone by softly humming along as they listen. Bourdon offers space for contemplation and regeneration with an otherwise unwelcome frequency.<br><br>• <a href=\"https://flowercat.org/bourdon-38/\" title=\"more bourdon\">more <strong>bourdon</strong></a></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:separator -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"/>\n<!-- /wp:separator -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"style\":{\"elements\":{\"link\":{\"color\":{\"text\":\"#181818\"}}},\"color\":{\"text\":\"#181818\"}},\"backgroundColor\":\"white\",\"fontSize\":\"large\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-large-font-size\" style=\"color:#181818\"><strong>mem mer mère</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:embed {\"url\":\"https://youtu.be/3AAxihDgh1o?si=74kBRZ9SQdt13Bsp\",\"type\":\"video\",\"providerNameSlug\":\"youtube\",\"responsive\":true,\"className\":\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps://youtu.be/3AAxihDgh1o?si=74kBRZ9SQdt13Bsp\n</div></figure>\n<!-- /wp:embed -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"style\":{\"elements\":{\"link\":{\"color\":{\"text\":\"#181818\"}}},\"color\":{\"text\":\"#181818\"}},\"backgroundColor\":\"white\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color\" style=\"color:#181818\">mem mer mère transforms eight measures of Debussy’s La Mer into one giant slow-motion wave that begins deep in the ocean’s trenches and rises through the Abyss, the Midnight, the Twilight, and finally the Sunlight as it breaks through the brilliant sun glitter on the water’s surface. Performed by l’Artiste ordinaire with cellist Kate Dillingham and live visualist Marc Fiaux, this music magnifies the formidable eight-measure cello excerpt from La Mer. As Dillingham’s cello and David Morneau’s trombone incant the sea using fragments of La Mer, Melissa Grey—like Salacia in her realm—interweaves them through layers of shimmering live sound processing that conjure the ocean.<br><br>(<a href=\"https://artisteordinaire.org/mmm/\" title=\"more mem mer mère\">more <strong>mem mer mère</strong></a>)</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph

When one is asked to spontaneously hum a note, the pitch tends to match the utility frequency, or mains hum, because this frequency is integrated into our perceptual habits. In North America and parts of Asia, this frequency is 60Hz, while in the majority of the rest of the world it is 50Hz. Bourdon—meaning drone and derived from French for bumblebee and buzz—invites the audience to tune their individual embodiment of this ubiquitous tone by softly humming along as they listen. <strong>Bourdon</strong> offers space for contemplation and regeneration with an otherwise unwelcome frequency.<br><br>• <a href=\"https://flowercat.org/bourdon-38/\" title=\"more bourdon\">more <strong>bourdon</strong></a></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:separator -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"/>\n<!-- /wp:separator -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"style\":{\"elements\":{\"link\":{\"color\":{\"text\":\"#181818\"}}},\"color\":{\"text\":\"#181818\"}},\"backgroundColor\":\"white\",\"fontSize\":\"large\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-large-font-size\" style=\"color:#181818\"><strong>mem mer mère</strong> (2019)</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:embed {\"url\":\"https://youtu.be/AJVkot88JiE\",\"type\":\"video\",\"providerNameSlug\":\"youtube\",\"responsive\":true,\"className\":\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps://youtu.be/AJVkot88JiE\n</div></figure>\n<!-- /wp:embed -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"style\":{\"elements\":{\"link\":{\"color\":{\"text\":\"#181818\"}}},\"color\":{\"text\":\"#181818\"}},\"backgroundColor\":\"white\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color\" style=\"color:#181818\"><strong>mem mer mère</strong> transforms eight measures of Debussy’s <em>La Mer</em> into one giant slow-motion wave. Performed by Melissa Grey &amp; David Morneau with cellist Kate Dillingham and live visualist Marc Fiaux, this music magnifies the formidable eight-measure cello excerpt from<em> La Mer</em>. As Dillingham’s cello and David Morneau’s trombone incant the sea using fragments of<em><strong> La Mer</strong></em>, Melissa Grey—like Salacia in her realm—interweaves them through layers of shimmering live sound processing that conjure the ocean.<br><br>• <a href=\"https://artisteordinaire.org/mmm/\" title=\"more mem mer mère\">more <strong>mem mer mère</strong></a></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->','Unsound','','publish','closed','closed','','unsound_project_examples','','','2024-04-29 21:51:23','2024-04-29 21:51:23','',0,'https://flowercat.org/?page_id=1050',0,'page','',0),(1048,1,'2024-03-05 00:13:24','2024-03-05 00:13:24','<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"backgroundColor\":\"white\",\"textColor\":\"black\",\"fontSize\":\"extra-large\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-extra-large-font-size\"><strong>Sound the Asylum</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\",\"backgroundColor\":\"white\",\"textColor\":\"black\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background\">binaural resonant frequencies<br>Recorded and produced by Melissa Grey &amp; David Morneau</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"left\",\"backgroundColor\":\"white\",\"textColor\":\"black\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background\">Project Timeline (ongoing)<br><br><strong>2023</strong><br><strong>November 3</strong> – Presentation: <a href=\"https://ahm.uva.nl/content/research-groups/archeology-architecture-and-the-virtual-past/sensory-decay-workshop-2023/sensory-decay-workshop-2023.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Sensory Decay Symposium</a>. ‘Sensing the Past’ Research Group, University of Amsterdam.<br><br><strong>October 16-18</strong> – Recording: <a href=\"https://www.ohio.edu/ridges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">The Ridges </a>(formerly Athens Lunatic Asylum), Athens, Ohio.<br><br><strong>September 22-24</strong> – Installation: <a href=\"https://www.thepreservationworks.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">PreservationWorks</a> 2023 Photography Benefit Tour. <a href=\"https://richardson-olmsted.com/then/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Richardson Olmsted Complex</a> (formerly Buffalo State Hospital), Buffalo, New York.<br><br><strong>August 9-11</strong> – Recording: <a href=\"https://richardson-olmsted.com/then/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Richardson Olmsted Complex</a> (formerly Buffalo State Hospital), Buffalo, New York.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"backgroundColor\":\"white\",\"textColor\":\"black\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><em>Sound the Asylum</em>, by composer-producers Melissa Grey &amp; David Morneau, is a growing catalog of immersive audio documentation, recording the aural identity of decaying asylum interiors in 19th–century Kirkbride Plan hospitals. We use an ambisonic recording technique to capture the activation of resonant frequencies in full 360º spatial surround. A series of recordings—each a recording of the previous iteration amplified by a loudspeaker—gradually reveal the humming resonance of a room’s dimensions and character.&nbsp;<br><br>These frequencies become part of the color of every sound activated in the space. It is an aural phenomenon that provides the ear spatial information. Our process captures the sounds in and around the asylum—summer insects, tolling church bells, and bits of decaying plaster falling to the floor. These sounds give a sense of place, immersing the listener in the sonic landscape of the resonating frequencies that would have softly imbued every sound of daily life for the patients, staff, and visitors in these buildings.&nbsp;<br><br>The innovative Kirkbride Plan, developed by psychiatrist Thomas Story Kirkbride, created therapeutic environments for the treatment of mental illness, providing unprecedented access to space, natural light and fresh air. Described as “America’s castles,” approximately 75 Kirkbride Plan hospitals were constructed throughout the United States and Australia, and only 36 of these massive hospitals remain standing today. We documented the Richardson Olmsted Complex (44,594 sq m) in Buffalo, New York, in August, and The Ridges (65,032 sq m) in Athens, Ohio, in October.<br></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!--
