Superconducting
looks at the bare bones of electronic sound through the construction of DIY
pick-ups, amplifiers and paper loudspeakers, and how these, what could be
considered, raw materials can be explored through composition and performance.
The piece also looks at the intersection between electronic and acoustic sound,
and mechanical processes and performance. Copper coils and magnets are used to
create, not only pick-ups, but also vibration speakers that are attached to
large sheets of paper that resonate. Preparing the paper - dampening, using
different sizes, shapes and positions in the room - produces a range of timbres
and sound characteristics. The transistor is also explored as the basic
building block for an amplifier.
