SHALE BRIDGE (2003)

Shale Bridge is a sonic mapping of a place. A microphone was positioned at each corner and in the center of a bridge underpass in Columbus, Ohio. Sounds from the immediate environment emerge, of wind, traffic, trains, and water. These sounds are met with the shattering of rock echoing off of the natural acoustics of the underpass, further activating the resonant bridge. The result is a sonic environment heard from many angles at once, and is a reflection of an overlooked space in the city. Total Time: 10:39.
