Drone Garden
How can this pandemic invite us to conceive alternative forms of meeting up and experiencing music together? This question guides the project Drone Garden, a virtual environment designed by Justin Wright to propose a new way of listening and being together. This space is accessed via an application, which can be downloaded from this exhibition page, and it allows you to hear Wright’s original composition, a microtonal work for 25 musicians, in 3 movements that cycle indefinitely. This sound piece is spatialized for the virtual environment. As you move through the space between the performers, the proximal effect makes each time you listen a unique experience. The online mode, where you can wander around with other users on the platform, offers a digital version of the social aspect of a music concert.
