Translations:Sounds from Earth: an evening of open source sound experimentations @ occii/14/en

The Wishing Well is an interactive sound installation, activated through audience interaction, performances and workshops. It consists of both a space to inhabit, and at its centre a self-made instrument working as a randomized loop station. The musical activations of the piece were designed in collaboration with the British composer and singer-songwriter Alex Olloman. The work appears as a shrine for voices, a sacred place of vocal archive. At its centre is the sculpture of the Wishing Well, inside which audiences are invited to share their voice. Through programming the Well combines the wishes and voices shared by people who have passed by it at different times. The audience’s involvement creates a communal, evolving piece that fuses sounds and algorithmic thinking into an archive.
