soundtrack for the 13th floor of the Central Bank building/rewind (2008)

[Audio element. Duration 05:20]

Three mp3 players are loaded with the same series of soundfiles and then set to shuffle. The files are designed to produce a potentially infinite, subtly shifting drone that fills the gallery space. Over time, harmonics pile up and are stripped away.

This sound work references architect Sam Stephenson's original proposal for the Central Bank Building on Dame St. in Dublin which would have been thirteen stories high. The design which was finally constructed on the site is about half that height.
