Documentation recording of the installation <a href="http://soundcloud.com/trond-lossius/cubic-second-2006">Cubic Second (2006)</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/trond-lossius">Trond Lossius</a> (12' 26").

_Cubic Second_ explored the gallery space as venue for a focused audio-visual experience. Paint, textiles and carpets were used to turn the space completely dark. 16 loudspeakers mounted on the walls, hidden behind black semi-transparent textiles, surrounded the inner of the room, enabling the audience to be embedded in rich spatial textures. The resulting space bore a certain resemblance of the black box, the blacked-out venues of acousmatic music or the immersive installation spaces created by e.g. James Turrell, LaMonte Young and Brian Eno.

A video back projection formed a large horizontal plane of slowly drifting abstract colors. Further into the space abstract video on three horisontal LCD screens formed another visual focus point. The visual material was composed from color mappings, interpolations and layering of abstract visual noise.

The soundscape was composed from a rich number of sound sources, debris from a number of projects over the last three years. Sound was further processed and abstracted, and combined into an algorithmic multi-layered composition cycling through a number of states, each with a high degree of generative freedom.

Sound and video were generated in real time using "Max/MSP/Jitter":http://www.cycling74.com and "Jamoma":http://www.jamoma.org, running on five networked Macs.
_Cubic Second_ was the final artistic work carried out within the framework of a three-year "research fellowship in the arts":http://www.kunststipendiat.no at "Bergen National Academy of the Arts":http://www.khib.no.

_Physics throw me off: A line multiplied by a line is a plane. A plane multiplied by a line becomes volume. I can almost grasp the idea of velocity being derived from location in space. But acceleration implies time multiplied by itself. What does a square second feel like? And what is the volume of sound? A cubic second?_

_…The trickster is an important archetype in the history of man who rebels against authority, pokes fun at the serious…He exists to question & not accept things blindly…We seem most accessible to the gifts of the Trickster when we ourselves are at or near boundaries or are experiencing transition. As an archetype, the Trickster, the boundary dweller, finds expression through human imagination and experience..._
_The protagonists are young women at the age of 8-16, who are in transition and need to their individual definition of the world and themselves, their own space and existence. They seem to live in another reality, beyond that of parents and teachers. Many of these girls have idols, figures onto which they project their fantasies. With the help of a makeup artist they will be transformed into their dream figure to be photographed with a stereo camera. The photographs will be printed life seize and will be seen with stereo glasses._

_I'd fetched some empty CD-Rs and was about to download and burn a number of mp3 files by and about Alvin Lucier from UBU-web so that I could listen to them at the stereo: "I'm sitting in a room" and an interview/documentary from 2001 split into 11 files._
_For some reason "Save Link As..." wouldn't work in Mozilla, so I had to open all mp3s in separate tabs and save. Mozilla would only download 3 or 4 files at the same time, and as one download completed, a new one would start. As soon as some of the file had been cached playback would start._
_As I downloaded I found the somewhat random collage increasingly interesting, a hyper-soundscape offering various cross-readings between whatever was played back at the same time, with a striking consistency of the resulting sound image. The form worked out well too, with the last mp3s from the interview ending in parallel and shortly after the end of "I'm sitting in a room". All in all the result seemed to indicate a sub- or supra-conscious polyphonic voice-leading in spite of the fact that the various parts had been created over a period spanning more than 20 years._
_A different kind of listening. A different ressonance._
_I decided to do it all once more, emptying the browser cache, use Soundflower and Soundflowerbed to route the resulting mix to MaxMSP, and record it. Playback would hitch occasionally during the process. I decided to leave the gaps as is, as traces of the process creating the collage. The result has been compressed to a new mp3 file, but apart from that no additional processing or editing has been done._

Sound and video are independent layers, but share a way of dealing with intensity, time, periodic and aperiodic rhythms. Shifting intensities of sound and video combines into a audio-visual counter-point.
The video is a seamless loop of approx. 7 minutes duration, while sound, generated algorithmically using Max/MSP, moves through a series of states in 19 minutes. The difference in duration cause them to create ever-new combinatorial patterns.

Two projectors were used for the video (2048x240 pixels, 8x0.9 meters). Underneath the video a row of 16 loudspeakers are used for sound, spatialised using ambisonics. The speaker setup creates a physical sensation of planar sound waves passing by and through the spectator at great speed.

Elektropoesia investigates relationships between sound and video, creating a combined artistic expression with both layers being of equal importance.
