The sound of one single chime  deconstructed and rearranged in space and time

This piece should be played quietly.  Softly enough to allow and audience member to have a conversation with the person next to them (85-95 dB) It has been mastered for medium quality domestic speakers.  We find if played on studio monitors treble is exaggerated and bass surpassed.  Other masters are available 

The original piece is designed for presentation in a large space. Via a surround system of 9 speakers. The audience positioned at the center of a sonic dome. This organization allows the audience to actively experience sound from within, not to observe it passively from a distance.

The shape and reflective surfaces of the space will affect the sound in subtle ways. The audience will absorb frequencies - or not. The position of the listener in the room will affect the sonic experience.  The sound itself moves both in terms of space and frequency throughout the piece and will be perceived slightly differently depending on the individual listener's location. As such, each performance of Chime Prism is unique.
