ORGANIZED SOUNDS FOR SOUNDING OBJECTS I: Metal and glass (2018)

Performance by KRÆKK, still from the video

Metal and Glass is written for SISU Percussion Ensemble and is the first work in the “Organized Sound for Sounding Objects” series. The series explores sounds made with sounding objects from everyday life (mainly from the kitchen). Metal and Glass experiments with combination tones – a psychoacoustic phenomenon of an additional tone or tones that are artificially perceived in the ear when two pure tones (i.e., tones produced by a simple harmonic sound wave having no or little overtones) sound together at sufficient intensity.
