From a solo exhibition at [séquence], Chicoutimi QC. Three spaces were used, with no acoustic separation. The gallery ductwork and front windows were used as sound transmission mediums.

Other significant improvisations/variations: a single string spanned 2 spaces through a hole in the wall; a site specific sculptural arrangement was constructed in the main room; kitchen string was used to 'multiplex' the sound into various resonators.
