Material Soundsystems: Mute, 'Fragile', National Museum Wales, Cardiff, 18th April - 4th October, 2015.

Material Soundsystems explores the possibilities of forging symbiotic and dynamic connections between the seemingly opposite properties of sound and matter. This research is bought together in 3 new projects, Mute, Ecstatic Material and Bloom where live performative experiments are conducted to test how sound animates materials and materials create sound.This item contains a project outline, an e-invitation (courtesy of National Museum Wales, Cardiff), 4 images of A1 preparatory drawings, 2 pdfs containing preparatory sketches, concept and design plans, and 11 installation views.Mute was commissioned by the National Museum of Wales as part of Fragile, an International Survey of Contemporary Ceramics Exhibition in 2015. The installation aimed to explore the effects on matter of sonic resonance within a PA system where the sound was completely internalised, then gradually exposed in short bursts. Mute was a soundsystem built from 72 clay filled speakers, gold tiles and separate twin turntables, from where dual vinyl single tracks were played simultaneously by members of the public. The ensuing muted sound clash created a force of internalised sound offering the potential for material destruction.Photography: Robin Maggs.

材质声音系统探索了构建共生与动态联系的可能性，这种联系将看似对立的声音与物质属性相结合。该研究融合为三个新的项目：静谧、狂喜材质与绽放，在这些项目中，进行了现场表演实验，以测试声音如何激活物质以及物质如何创造声音。本项内容包括项目大纲、来自威尔士国家博物馆的电子邀请函（由威尔士国家博物馆提供）、四幅A1大小的预备草图图像、包含预备草图、概念和设计计划的两个PDF文档，以及11个安装视图。静谧项目由威尔士国家博物馆于2015年作为“脆弱：国际当代陶瓷展览调查”的一部分委托创作。该装置旨在探索声波共振对物质的影响，在音响系统中声音被完全内化，然后逐渐以短促的爆发形式逐渐暴露。静谧是一个由72个装有粘土的扬声器、金色瓷砖和独立的双转盘组成的音响系统，公众成员同时播放双份黑胶单轨。由此产生的低沉声音碰撞产生了一种内化的声音力量，提供了物质破坏的潜力。摄影：罗宾·马格斯。图片已获得摄影师和威尔士国家博物馆的许可使用。该作品受版权保护，未经许可不得使用。使用此存储库表示同意遵守其政策和相关版权法律。
