…remnants is an immersive sound installation combining live transducer-activated resonant instruments and found objects with binaural bone-conducting headphone listening for one person at a time. (Covid restrictions).
…remnants is part of an ongoing series of compositional installations and performance works using transducers that explore the nature of space, materiality, and the physicality of listening.
Individually, audience members wearing wireless bone-conducting headphones enter the installation space filled with broken and shattered string instruments. Upon entrance, the installation comes sonically to life: sounds emerge from the instruments, mixing with disembodied sound from the headphones. The installation reacts to their path through the space, responding to their distance to each object, the history of what has sounded, and the history of their movements to create an ever-changing, responsive, and personalized experience.
Matthew Goodheart is a composer, improviser, sound installation artist, and educator. A lifelong teacher, he is and Assistant Professor of Music Composition at Rensselaer Polytechnic University.
