Artist: Cod.Act

Year: 2018

A sound installation featuring an old guitar amplifier modified with a mechanical prosthesis, suspended from the ceiling and playing a distorted rock song. The music dynamically reacts to the amplifier's movements, created by the interaction of two coupled harmonic oscillators. The song, "The Wind" by PJ Harvey, is recomposed in real-time based on the amplifier's motion, resulting in variations in intensity and character.
