Sound Loom
2024

Sound Loom is textile dialectics. It is non-narrative, multi-sensory juxtaposition. It is a tenth of global carbon emissions. It is the socks you wear and the curtain you draw to keep the glare of the sun off your screen. Sound Loom looms before you, an enveloping sound, light, sight, feel.

"Sound Loom" explores textiles as both a visual and sonic framework. The installation features perforated gauze-like fabric, creating layered, folding projection planes. Digitally deconstructed images of the weaving process and the animal and human labor involved dance across these planes when activated.

Hanging touch-sensitive threads trigger layers of video and sound. Six video channels and eight audio channels shift in and out of phase, generating new configurations with each interaction. To fully activate the piece, multiple participants must interact with the threads and physically connect, bridging the current and fostering a collective, immersive experience.

Exhibited in the Vibrotaxis Exhibition, Museum West, Den Haag, May 2024.

Touch-sensitive collectively activated audiovisual installation

Mixed Media: Textile gauze, steel rod frame and concrete weights

4-channel quadrophonic audio

6-channel video with mesh-based mapping

Programming in Max/MSP/Jitter, C++ and Grasshopper 3D

Concept, design, and execution by Daniel L. Lythgoe

Photo and video documentation by Daniel L. Lythgoe

Assistance Livia Malossi Bottignole

About

I’m an artist, architect, and musician working across media to reflect on the dynamics of anthropogenic environments. Through a conceptual lens, I create immersive performances, interactive sound sculptures, and site-specific installations that explore the interplay of sound, space, and perception.

Recent projects range from acousmatic spatial compositions to explorations of light-sound transduction, discrete-time feedback systems, and algorithmic interpretations of graphic scores.

I hold a master’s degree in architectural design from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and studied Sonology at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, as well as Media Arts and ArtScience at HfG Karlsruhe and KABK Den Haag. My works and performances have been presented at venues such as Museum West (NL), Garage Rotterdam (NL), ZKM (DE), Rewire Festival (NL), Lapinlahden Lähde Studios (FI), Národní dům (CZ), and Nova (BE).
