The same sound from two sides

At the same time as recording the spiral staircase waterfall at Folie number six in La Villette, Paris, we also took a vibrational recording of the structure with a Geofon at the same time.

This piece blends the Geofon structural vibration recording in one channel with the "normal" microphone recording in the other channel. They start on the left and right respectively, and swap sides by the end, meeting in the middle with both sounds centralised. In this way, we can hear what our ears hear, but also experience the "hidden" sounds beyond our human hearing - two sounds from the same space at the same time.
