“Space as an Instrument” is a project.
It’s about space and sound.
A sound is a tone or a noise.
There are many metronomes in the room.

A metronome keeps a steady beat.
The devices are placed in many different spots.
This changes the sound in the room.
You hear it in a new way every time.

There are no large speakers.
Many small devices produce sounds.
They are arranged differently each time.
This creates a network of sound.

The room becomes a sound box.
The audience is right in the middle of it.
You hear something from all sides.
The sound surrounds the people.

Now there is a new idea.
The artist Sey Lee works with samplers.
A sampler stores sounds.
And plays them back.

She collects small pieces of sound.
These are called fragments.
They are recombined.
This creates a new world of sound.

The sound becomes more diverse.
And also more alive.
There are more natural sounds.
The room sounds even fuller.
