Untitled audio installation, 4 channels, written in pureData and running on Raspberry Pi.
A sequence of notes in interval where each one is output to one out of four speakers at random. The sequence can't be heard in its entirety from any one point of the room; the listener is asked to move from one speaker to the other and form a melody in their memory.
Installation simulation: use arrow keys/WASD to move and listen to the notes being played through the different speakers.
