PARTICIPATION
Debate: Zear Noize Box vs. Zpeaker
A found Mid-Century, wall mounted, two door cabinet made of galvanized metal and a 12″ Speaker sculpture.
Both, equipped with a trio of piezo microphones, analog, digital and acoustic sound generators…(springs, moving parts and electronic effect modules)
Built within each piece are listener/viewer-friendly sound manipulating knobs, and buttons to create and distort the sounds they generate.
Zear Noize Box- more of a civilized piece. One moving part, one spring. More control and structure.
Zpeaker – a more organic piece with many springs and tones, making more of a anarchic experience.
The two together, emulate the sense of law and breaking the law. Much like a country’s idea of government vs. their citizen’s ideas of how it should be ran.
Result: A debate between the two machines.

In the early 1990s, he built his first combo piece, ‘Chamber Of Dementia,’ which started as an installation so the viewers could interact and produce sound themselves.
