This sound work was created for the HayArt Center Yerevan within the framework of the Greenhouse project. It engages with the specific architecture and acoustics of the building, and is co-created by the sounds that permeate the space from the outside city and visitors movement inside. The composition explores the acousmatic indirectness of sound, recreating and diffusing the spatial experience across the rooms. Conceived as a two-channel piece, loudspeakers placed in rooms 3 and 5 project sound that moves through the building and forms a stereo field in room 4, turning the entire site into a resonant instrument.
This sound work was created as part of the performance The Great Grand Other (European Center for the Arts Hellerau, Lofft Leipzig, Pumpenhaus Münster, Ballhaus Ost, Ringlokschuppen Mülheim).
The performance traces the intergenerational transmission of war trauma, where memory resonates through voice, matter, and vibration. Traditional Ukrainian songs, performed by Melanka Piroschik, intertwine with field recordings from a gravel plant—a dialogue between human breath and industrial rhythm. Conceived as an immersive 9-channel installation with subwoofer and turntable, the work was presented in a space entirely filled with gravel; every step, every movement produced subtle sounds of shifting stones, turning the room itself into a resonant body where memory and material continually respond to one another.
