Image Credit: Saphy Vong Platform Asia and Dreamy Place present Natural Frequency, a new sound installation presented in Lighthouse’s Digital Lounge. Developed in collaboration with music label Chinabot and grassroots experimental music platform IKLECTIK.
The installation brings together four distinct sound works by Asian artists represented by Chinabot, including Ayankoko, Bamboo Mystics, Fahmi Mursyid and Sipaningkah. Moving between rhythmic, acoustic and atmospheric approaches, the works combine traditional instruments, percussion, field recordings and electronic sound.
A multi-speaker sound system has been specially developed for the work, allowing sound to move around the room. Visitors are invited to step inside, listen from different positions and experience how the works shift as they move through the space.
Natural Frequency brings together artists who use sound to carry memory, culture and place. Across the four works, traditional instruments, environmental recordings and electronic textures trace connections between inherited musical traditions, contemporary life and relationships with the natural world across Asia.
By transforming the Digital Lounge into a temporary field of sound, the installation offers another way of experiencing space, providing a moment to pause, listen and reflect.
