Swells by Ven Voisey

Presented by Audium

Swells by Ven Voisey at Audium

For the last month, Ven Voisey has created a site-specific composition that explores his relationship to the space within Audium. Voisey is drawn to how space is occupied—and the sounds that inhabit, infiltrate, and swell. Audiences will hear creaking chairs, the hum of a breaker box, the phasing pulse of equipment cooling fans, door hinges, water pipes, and the wave-like, sub-audible sounds of traffic passing outside.

In the lobby, an ensemble of 9-foot wooden towers topped with rotating horn speakers welcome audiences. Voisey’s creations intermittently sing out with disembodied voices, in resonant harmony to some aspect of their surroundings. The resulting songs are at times alluring and transcendent, at others, discordant and haunting.

Swells by Ven Voisey is playing every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 7:30 PM from AUGUST 3 to AUGUST 26, 2023
