This installation holds a peculiar genealogy, a code derived from a translation exercise that combines geometry and sound creation. Sculptor Juan José Aranguren and sound artist Andrés Doñate met each other in the 80s while taking part in Ikertze, a pioneering experimental pedagogy project. A priori, Aranguren’s interest in spatial proportions did not directly relate to Doñate’s sound research based on the creation of experimental musical instruments and computational music, yet a passion for artistic research led their paths to cross. When Aranguren finished his decades of work on “Canon bidimensional áureo 1” (Golden Two-Dimensional Canon 1), a combination of different geometric cannons, he presented it to Doñate, who found before him a challenge of awesome complexity: translating space into time. This installation shows both the geometric canon that served unexpectedly as experimental sheet music, and the resulting multi-channel sound piece.
