Utility Poles

Six wooden chambers, each with a loudspeaker installed at their top, function as large Helmholtz resonators with high frequencies emanating from above the listener's head while low frequencies resonate from the objects themselves. They play field recordings made at the ubiquitous site of wooden utility poles in Seattle using an array of microphones and an antenna constructed to record electromagnetic radiation.
