WAVE CROSSINGS is Liz Phillips’ sound and site-specific installation construct that explores the NY Harbor to reveal waves and life under and above the water’s surface. New York Harbor is at the mouth of the Hudson River where it empties into New York Bay and into the Atlantic Ocean. Governor’s island is a space for exploring the convergence of these bodies of water. The audience/participants explore, creating patterns that amplify and reinforce the sonic architecture of the island. Multi-channel simultaneous recordings from the waters around the Island create the sound and signal material for the installation in Building 7a . Movement of audience and environment is sensed using telemetry systems to create an ever-changing dynamic water and soundscape. Many physical filters (sound speaker objects) and a live listening program create the dynamic for this installation.
