Brian Riordan, Alex Lough

Alex Lough and Brian Riordan present Concentric Systems, an immersive electroacoustic performance for transduced wind gong, modular synthesizer, feedback electronics, and live visuals. At its center, a microphone and transduced gong create a dynamic feedback loop, transforming the gong into a self-resonating speaker.

Lough guides and transforms this feedback path with his modular synthesizer, introducing waves of texture and instability, while Riordan—in the next layer—captures, processes, and reshapes the sound, amplifying it through a second ring of speakers. The entire sonic layer is transmuted into real-time visuals, projected onto the gong’s surface, with ight patterns oscillate in response to the sound.

As the layers of sound and image interact, Concentric Systems presents itself as a constantly shifting interplay of forces—an intricate choreography of resonance, feedback, and transformation that immerses the audience in the hypnotic unfolding of an autopoietic ecosystem.
