Artist’s installation “Among the Petals” at the Momentary Museum, which drew to a close this past spring, was an exploration of sound technology’s plainly apparent physicality.

This vertical sound sculpture, a 20-metres spiral of 22 speakers, functioned as a precisely aligned array which transcended its conventional meaning by becoming more than its visible parts. The structure, resembling a twisted DNA helix or vertebrae, challenged perceptions by transforming mundane audio equipment into an emergent lifeform, animated by sound.

Frost’s synthetic soundscape, derived from natural and elemental forces, permeated the installation, imbuing it with a sense of an interconnected organisms existing within and despite the human-altered environment. This sonic backbone evoked a reimagined nature, asserting its presence amidst the industrial materials of steel, cables and copper that constituted the speakers.

The sound of “Among the Petals” composed for this installation, is another loud and distinct Frostian creation. The synthesised audio, inspired by natural elements, created a hypnotic auditory experience, transforming the space into a living, breathing entity.
