Sweetspotting is a walk-in spatial sound installation for five connected and darkened rooms. The sounds were designed and composed on the basis of technical measurements of the acoustic properties of the installation-space.
The composition is time-defined (11:30 min) and plays in a loop. However, the composition can't be perceived as a whole in one place at one time. Moving through the installation is an important part of the experience.
Sweetspotting was my Masterthesis at UdK Berlin (Sound Studies).
The word Sweetspotting refers to the technical term sweet spot as it is used in audio technology. The sweet spot is the optimal position between two loudspeakers to receive a stereo signal. In my installation the single spot is replaced by a variety of interesting listening positions.
