Description
The Geyser is a sound installation composed by Francesco Giomi, involving at least six loudspeakers arranged in a circle, spreading electronic sounds.
«Geysers are among the most surprising and striking natural phenomena: their characteristic power and regularity are stunning and exciting. In particular, the Icelandic geyser Strokkur has strongly inspired this sound-art installation. The geyser becomes a natural model for an abstract work with a strong electro-acoustic characterisation (using at least six loudspeakers), aiming to originate a reflection on the concepts of “awaiting” and “surprise”: after how long will we hear the sound emission? Of what will it be made?».
