| bell_curve is a public audiowork composed for the 21-bell carillon and outdoor speaker system at City Hall in Edmonton, Alberta. Two laptops installed in City Hall ran MAX/MSP programs that triggered bell sequences in the carillon tower and fashioned a text-based audio piece heard from speakers on the plaza. The piece began at sunset and lasted for 60 minutes of twilight. At the audio/video link below are exerpts of the audio and a video cutup of the view across the plaza. |
