Compound is excited to present Chromasonic – Field Study, an experimental light and sound installation. This installation is an opportunity to ponder presence both individually and in community with others. It is an occasion to notice how our experience of a constantly shifting environment shapes the perspective of what we see and what we don’t see. Each of the four rooms (nodes) in this multi-layered experiential environment is activated by a single source of sound or light at any given time. The installation uses Chromasonic Refrequencing, a real-time translation of light frequencies to sound, and sound frequencies to light, in effect making light audible or sound visible.

Chromasonic started as a collaborative art studio and research lab founded by installation and multi-media artist Johannes Girardoni (@johannesgirardoni ), with sound artists and musicians Orpheo McCord (@orpheomccord ) and Joel Shearer (@joelshearer ) in 2018. Chromasonic (@chromasonic) creates large-scale, polysensory installations to explore non-ordinary states of consciousness through the development of organic technologies that harmonize light and sound frequencies in​ ​immersive communal environments.
