Sebastian Leopold is a musician and soundartist based in Vienna. After three years of internationally working as an engineer, he settled down to set up his own workshop where he could focus on building sounding objects and installations. His fascination for vibrating strings, membranes, blocks and blobs shows in his workpieces, which experiment with the eigenfrequencies of bodies and their manipulation through means of electronics.
drift
“Drift” explores the boundaries and intersections between control and collapse, dissipation and resonance, reflection and transmission. Its a big self-resonating feedback mirror made from polished stainless steel driven by an air coupled 4×10″ speaker. The sounds you hear are the intrinsic vibrations of the metal sheet, simply generated by feeding the signals recorded by a contact microphone back to the mirror through the speakers. The reflections caused by the mirror’s vibrations visualise the spatial expansion of the structure-born sound and magnify the moment when the stable oscillation breaks down into chaotic noise.
