Vertical Chain is a live performance for loudspeakers. It plays with the idea of “ground sounds” and “sky-high sounds” to produce an effect of verticality. It starts from the two loudspeakers on the floor and their dedicated sound sources, slowly moving to the two elevated loudspeakers and their aerial sounds. As these two layers interact vertically, they evoke a sense of spatial depth, inviting the audience to experience the auditory tension and consonance between these realms. The performance employs field recordings, synthesized sounds and live sound processing to create a fluid, evolving meditative experience.
