Michael Rosenstein constructed the 4-channel sound piece “Found Sound for Wunderkammer” for the Room of Wonders exhibit at the Cantor Art Gallery. For the piece, he utilized processed, manipulated, and distressed field recordings captured with a variety of DIY microphones and sensors. For his artist talk, he will discuss his approach to exploring and capturing the world of found sound, including a demonstration of some of the tools he utilizes. The talk will be followed by a series of improvisations where he and Stella Silbert will interact with the 4-channel sound piece.
