BEATING VARIATIONS, 60-80Hz by Cem Çakmak (TR) Site specific installation with two modified floorboards. Bass freuqencies modulate in tone and intensity to shake the ground below in evolving and pulsating patterns that fill the gallery space above. Beating is an acoustic phenomenon where two sources with close frequencies create a third, emergent wave of silence in the frequency of their difference. Throughout three days of exhibition in a minimal setting, frei-raum.berlin becomes a place of sonic meditation and experimentation where low frequency interplay create ever-changing acoustic textures rising from beneath.
Saturday 20.04 will feature the performances of Cem Çakmak (TR) and Pedro Almiro (PT).
