‘Length of a Distance’ is a 1 hour long performance originally designed for the Greenwich Foot Tunnel. The piece highlights the unique acoustic qualities of the transitional public spaces and explores the pace, density and presence of the people passing through them.
In the performance 8 performers are walking through the tunnel, carrying around small portable speakers. Each speaker plays a different pitch which sums up to a vibrating 8 note chord. Depending on the distance from each performer, one could hear different colors of the sound. The piece was later re-comissioned by international experimental festival UH Fest, and performed in 3 different sites of Budapest.
