Concrete Choir
A choir of brutalist buildings resampled into a spatial audio walk.
Overview
Concrete Choir captures impulse responses inside five brutalist landmarks and composes a site-specific audio walk that makes the buildings sing.
Approach
- Balloon-pop impulse recording in each stairwell
- Convolution reverb applied to a choral score
- GPS-triggered playback along a public walking route
Outcome
Commissioned by the city architecture biennale; ran three sold-out seasons.
