From 440 to 432: Taking the Tension Out
Join us May 14, from 2:00-3:00 p.m. for a cello performance by Ruth Boden in conversation with Trimpin’s sound sculpture Ambiente432. Comprised of 12 motion-responsive resonator horns suspended from the ceiling and organized in strategic configurations, Ambiente432 is tuned precisely to 432Hz. Known as Verdi’s ‘A’, this vibration frequency recurs in the tuning of ancient Tibetan singing bowls, Stradivarius instruments, and 20th century physicist W. O. Schumann calculated the Earth’s rhythms at a cycle close to the fundamental frequency of 432Hz.
LOCATION | The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU is located in the Crimson Cube (on Wilson Road across from Martin Stadium and the CUB) on the WSU Pullman campus. For more information please contact the museum at 509-335-1910.
