Who Knows
2021, 2022. Audio: sound collage. 02:02

In 2021, the Spiral Body had access to Bodecker Foundation, a Portland-based sound venue that has a massive skateboard ramp (appx 15’ deep). They set up a few musical instruments, microphones, and other props down at the bottom of the ramp to collect the site-specific acoustic noises with playing these Instruments. Takahashi’s different types of voicing and her readings also have been recorded with the surrounded echos. They also collected the movement sounds of human bodies- running around, walking, and tapping the floor and walls from the bottom of the hole to accentuate the space’s unique bouncing liquid echoey sonic characteristics. The acoustic in the deep concrete hole allows these sounds to bounce around, they recorded these transferring sounds with their multiple echoes. Who Knows has created from the collections of recording from this experience.
