Susan Philipsz Sound Mirrors 2024 Double 12" Translucent Crystal Vinyl in Gatefold sleeve Audio on one side of each record, 33 rmp, 19’45 31,5 x 31,5 cm Ed 180 Signed and numbered by the artist
Short bursts of sound produced with Susan Philipsz´s voice traverse the space. The tones of sound collide, sometimes harmonious, sometimes dissonant, calling across the space, measuring and defining the architecture. The sounds are produced by a pair of parabolic reflectors facing each other. The surfaces are polished to a mirror finish creating a space for reflection and projection.
Side A of Disc 1 contains the sounds of the first sound mirror and side A of Disc 2 contains the sound of the second mirror. Ideally, they should be played on twin deck turntables. Side B of both discs is completely blank, as these blank surfaces are known in the recording industry as mirrors.
