Curated by Deirdre McIntosh

August 29 - September 7, 2025

Installation shot of Blake Ballard, “Who sets the ground rules?”, chalk marker, and Deirdre McIntosh, “waiting for the right moment,” Modular synthesizer patch using VCV Rack (Eurorack emulation)

.

Taking a monophonic CV input and transforming it into shifting polyphonic chords, this sonic piece generates an unpredictable, ever-changing voice. In dialogue with Ballard’s work, which frames the space and shapes an environment for deep listening, this installation acts as a counterpart to my main body of research, sooperdooperlooper. The fluid shifts in sound play against the crochet patterns, inviting listeners to linger within the space.
