Multichannel Music / Sound Works – Looking at Models Exhibition Closing Party
A spatialized music / sound concert where sound moves through space, transforming it into an immersive experience
Multichannel Music / Sound Works
Multichannel Music / Sound Works features works composed specifically for spatialized sound across multiple speakers. Treating space as a core parameter, these works shape trajectories, depth, and motion as integral elements of form. This concert invites audiences to experience sound as an immersive environment.
Main Location:
MUD Foundation at O Cinema Art Film Experiences
Featuring works
RED-Splice, 2016-26
This is a multi-channel work by Richard Garet that turns pure sound energies into an immersive spatial listening experience.
Magic Carillon, 2024
Eight voices blend into a shifting sound mass that gradually reveals its inner textures, inspired by dreamlike echoes of clockwork and birdsong.
3 Seconds to Midnight, 2025
A spatial composition where layered sounds and noises unfold over time, shaping texture, density, and movement as core structural elements.
About the Artist
Richard Garet is an intermedia artist whose practice treats sound as material, a generative force, and a perceptual agent, transforming sonic, luminous, and invisible energies into immersive perceptual environments. He holds an MFA from Bard College, New York, and has lived and worked in the United States since 1996. Working across sound, moving image, installation, and expanded audiovisual systems, Garet activates background noise, infrastructural sound, and technological processes to reveal conditions of mediation, attention, and perception. His work investigates the materiality of sound and image, technological abstraction, and the ontological relationships between material, media, and sensory experience.
Garet’s work is held in major institutional collections including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA), the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO), and the SPACE Collection. His work has been presented internationally at institutions such as the National Gallery of Art (Washington, DC), Times Square Arts, MACBA (Barcelona), SFMOMA, and major biennials and museum exhibitions worldwide. His practice has been recognized by Prix Ars Electronica, the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, NYSCA, and the South Florida Cultural Consortium, and is featured in key publications on contemporary media and sound art, including books by Barbara London and Christiane Paul.
José Hernández Sánchez is a composer whose practice extends beyond music into performance and film. His work weaves sound, text, and image into layered contexts, using their connotations to generate ambiguity and uncertainty as a core artistic strategy.
His work has been presented across North America, Latin America, and Europe at festivals including Electric Eclectics, Subtropics, INC, NWEAMO, Miami Performance Festival. In 2018, Radio Nacional de España devoted a monographic broadcast to his work
He has lectured on aesthetics, contemporary music, and digital arts internationally and has served as juror for composition competitions, including for New Music USA. He taught composition at Javeriana University in Bogotá, where he also directed the Composition Department.
Based in Miami since 2010, he continues to present work internationally and directs The Sound of Art at MUD Foundation, focusing on experimental music and new technologies.
The Sound of Art
Aligned with MUD Foundation’s commitment to immersive technology, our Experimental Music and Sound Art Program offers an innovative platform for exploring the intersection of sound, art, and technology. The program is designed to fill a vital gap in the sound arts within the realm of new technologies, offering a space dedicated to artists who focus on music and sound art.
Multichannel Music / Sound Works
RED-Splice, 2016-26
Duration: approximately 37 minutes
Sonic construction for octophonic output (presented here in quadraphonic format)
RED-Splice (2016-26) is a multichannel sound composition by Richard Garet that explores sound as a spatial and perceptual material. Originally conceived as an octophonic work and presented here in a quadraphonic configuration, the piece emerges from the artist’s long-term investigation into what he terms material sound, drawing on electromagnetic emissions, resonant objects, sonified data, and repurposed electronic systems. Through a carefully constructed durational architecture, RED-Splice transforms these energetic traces into an immersive sonic environment shaped by acoustic space, speaker placement, and embodied listening. Balancing fixed composition with subtle performative calibration, the work invites audiences to navigate the sound field, foregrounding listening as an active spatial experience and revealing sound as a dynamic agent of perception, transformation, and attention.
Magic Carillon, 2024
Duration: 7’45”
Eight individual musical voices are intertwined into a sound mass. This dense harmonic texture undergoes a transformative disentanglement, as various parameters of the musical voices are altered. Timbre, spatial location, and pitch range are among the elements that undergo change. This process yields diverse textures, allowing the discernment of individual musical voices amidst the contrast to the unified sound mass. Conceptually, the piece draws upon the ethereal associations one might experience within a dream. Loose connections are forged between the intricate mechanisms of a cuckoo clock and bird songs.
3 Seconds to Midnight, 2025
Duration: 11’40”
Using a multitude of sounds and noises distributed throughout the space, this musical work unfolds through carefully shaped combinations articulated as durational ideas. Spatial placement and temporal layering become primary compositional forces, allowing textures, densities, and trajectories to emerge as structural elements.
