Sixteen Chimes by Alexandre Klinke
Alexandre Klinke explains his installation Sixteen Chimes which is being exhibited until September 23, 2024 at the NAISA North Media Arts Centre in South River, Ontario, Canada.
In this interactive artwork there are 16 chime bars. Each one is controlled electronically by a custom-made circuit. By placing the chimes in different parts of the gallery, the installation emphasizes the spatial nature of sound, and its interaction with distinct acoustic spaces. The generative aspect of the piece is determined by the irregular beats that each chime makes, repeating every 1 to 25 seconds, which can be modified by exhibition visitors from a knob located with each chime. The result is an ever-changing composition that is affected by the audience's interaction with the piece. Sixteen Chimes was created with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.
Alexandre Klinke is a composer and media artist from Sao Paulo, Brazil, based in Vancouver, BC. His work encompasses different fields such as video, multimedia art, music for film, sound design and live music performance. The appreciation of sound is at the core of his practice. He releases music under his own name, as well as using the alias Playback Head, an experimental project that ranges from jazz to electronic and ambient, merging traditional instruments with field recordings, sound-making objects and electronic devices.
