Steve Heimbecker
Montréal, Québec
The Turbulence Sound Matrix (TSM), uses digital recordings of the wind created by Heimbecker's Wind
Array Cascade Machine (2003) in the form of continuous cascading wave patterns to amplify and diffuse
any sound source through the powerful 64 channels of the TSM's unique speaker array. This adaptation
creates a vivid, highly articulated, and totally immersive sonic environment for the listener. For this
presentation Heimbecker has created the spellbinding 64 channel composition "Signe", a composition
of unlimited duration using the wind, all 88 notes of a grand piano, and 16 recordings of the artist
typing stories to himself about himself and about his making the TSM over the past 5 years. Since the
early 1980's Steve Heimbecker has been creating art works for multi channel sound systems, multi channel
data representation, audio performance, installation, large scale sculpture, and video montage. Conceptually
his work is based upon his fascination with the architecture of space and the measurement of time within
space.
This Toronto premiere of TSM at Scotiabank Nuit Blanche is presented by New Adventures in Sound Art
as part of its SOUNDplay festival.
