Brad Nath creates sound at the nexus of art and materials science.

Bricks cast with embedded microphones and loudspeakers allow the ubiquitous building modules to produce sound structures when amplified. Made from a range of materials—concrete, plaster, wax, silicone—each brick expresses its unique sonic signature when activated by a performer or stacked upon another, resulting in physical feedback. The performance will feature a selection of bricks from a system that is being developed to construct full-scale sonically active architectural environments.

Brad’s practice is referred to as”Acoustectonics” and works to create built environments that mediate their state of being into a sonic experience. Differing from Acoustics, which often works to silence buildings, Acoustectonics is interested to imbue architectural bodies with the capacity to express themselves through sound. Brad began this research at Cornell University in the Architecture and Music departments, where he received a medal of distinction for his B.Arch thesis.

Interested to develop unheard manners of inhabitation, he continues to explore the space between sound art and architectural design through material research, performance, installation and sonically-sensitive built environments.
