​

The installation Myriam Van Imschoot made with Andreas Halling of Hyoid and Walpurgis mobilises 20 small speakers in a sonic choreography. Descending, halting, ascending, they create different acoustic planes that defies a fixed auditory perception. Based on recordings of newpolyphonies with human voices only, the installation exceeds the distinctions between animal, human and machine and altogether creates a new experience with vertiginous effect.
