frequencies (a) by Nicolas Bernier is a sound performance combining the sound of mechanically triggered tuning forks with pure digital soundwaves. Nicolas is triggering sequences from the computer, activating solenoids that hit the tuning forks with high precision. Streams of light burst in synchronicity with the forks, creating a not-quite-minimal sound and light composition.
