Tremologies w/ Peter Szendy (2025)
Tremologies features a reading voice and a soundscape. The soundscape mimics a haptic topology. Shifting zones throughout the space are marked by simple tones whose interference produces utterly local ecotonalities: third-tones of latent partials and rhythmic beating. There is no sweet-spot. One could, hypothetically, rhythmically migrate along these tremological tension lines. Instead, the zones shift and mimic a rhythmic migration as the haptic map moves around the listener—creating the illusion of movement as the environment slides by, around, beneath, and above us.
The total movement of the system follows an eco-logic as its parts are in constant flux while the overall structure of the system remains static—a vibrational terrarium. The modulation of the zones is driven by equal phase divisions of a single low frequency oscillator such that a given frequency range is always equally divided and the total motion of the system remains constant, even as the zones perpetually migrate.
