Next to that, a number of acoustic architectural prototypes will be presented as a base for conversation. +The project Into the Shepard Zone is based on the phenomenon of Shepard tone. +The computer generated version is called Shepard-Risset glissando which gives the listener the impression of a forever ascending (or descending) pitch. It is commonly described as an intense listening experience, leaving the audience anxious or highly excited and tense. It is a very powerful phenomenon because it opens up many possibilities for interactions between different disciplines. Also as an auditory illusion it is highly imaginative: it can be easily illustrated with popular optical examples like the spiraling barber pole, the motion of the corkscrew, or the paradoxical drawings of Escher. + +This will be the first phase presentation of Into the Shepard Zone which is a long-running sound media project of Mate Pacsika, through which he collaborates with sound composer René Thie and architect Iris van der Wal. + +This project is made possible by the generous support of Stimuleringsfonds Creative Industry. + +• When? Sunday, 4th October +• What time? Session one: 19:00-20:00 and session two: 20:00-21:00 +• Where? Varia, Gouwstraat 3 +• Please send an email in advance to m@shepard.zone to reserve your spot. + +We are looking forward to practice careful conviviality together again! Physical presences will be protected as much as possible by adopting some security measures: max 12 people are allowed in the space with 1.5 meter distance between them. Hand gel and masks are available.
