Rather than look back on our 30 years in retrospect, I decided the best way to celebrate the series would be to continue doing what we have been doing: presenting a stylistically varied season comprising composers, interpreters, and improvisers, both emerging and established, local and international, each of whom has a unique approach to music making.

As a continuation of previous audio feedback and instrumental prototyping projects, this analog audio feedback system generates a Helmholtz-like standing wave inside a resonant semi-sphere. The electronic configuration is based on a generic bullhorn circuit (with an electret mic and two 4ohm transducers) and is filtered through a passive RC low-pass filter. Few components are required and the circuitry can be easily embedded into a variety of hardware interface designs.
