SUMMARY:Hours. Minutes. Seconds. by Peter Hatch
DESCRIPTION:West Coast Radians\, loudspeakers\, recycled iPads\, bark\, leaves\, cardboard.\nHours. Minutes. Seconds. is an audiovisual installation that explores our cultural habit of measuring and counting time. Visitors are invited to step inside what feels like the interior of an unconventional clock mechanism\, where ticks\, tocks\, and other time-related sounds surround and shift as they move through the space.\nAs a composer\, I work as a kind of ‘time sculptor’\, negotiating the different experiences of time I feel when planning a work while understanding how different the time sense will likely feel by those experiencing the work. All of this is measured against ‘clock time’\, often in the form of musical bars and rhythms. Hours. Minutes. Seconds. creates a space in which visitors can sense the relativity of time while remaining aware of clock time as something precisely measured and regulated.\nThe installation’s soundscape draws inspiration from the natural world\, where multiple sound sources coexist in counterpoint. Each occupies its own sonic space\, defined by frequency range and varying levels of activity and density. The sounds combine synthetic elements with recordings from natural environments.\nThis soundscape is accompanied by a series of handmade clocks constructed from natural materials—such as bark\, leaves\, and cardboard—using commercial clock mechanisms alongside digital devices. The digital elements are programmed in Max/MSP.
