Gain Stage is a kinetic sound installation that sounds out and shapes acoustic space in relation to a series of physical and mechanical tableau. Each tableau focuses on a single device or object which involves a process of mechanical amplification or inscription. Some of the tableaus run autonomously, others require manual activation. The movements in each tableau are amplified so that their sounds are heard in varying combinations from speakers spread throughout the space. The sounds are processed to produce an elliptical relationship between the tableau and the sound of the movements it shows: they are filtered or delayed, and often heard at a distance. This processing changes over time, so as each tableau unfolds the sounds associated with it move in and out of acoustic focus.

The piece will be presented as an installation in the early evening, then as a live performance with Addie Mitchell and Nina Ruelle joining Ed Osborn in performing the work. Presentation of Gain Stage is supported in part by the Rhode Island Council for the Arts and Brown University.

Feral will release a debut SD card this winter via her label with Sam Slater, All Female Parliament.
