Austin Larkin is a composer primarily working with violin, bells, and sirens. His performance and practice is informed by research into dimensions of vibrating bodies. Larkin’s solo violin performance situates the violin as an instrument to accentuate space, rather than to fill space. Within this space, the violin renders a continuously unfolding structure of interlocking harmonic shapes and temporal patterns. With his custom bell instruments, the experience of ringing is expanded to energize the resonance of architecture and the cochlea. Through these instruments, we hear sound is not separate from space, sound is space.
