Fixed media — voice and bass drum

Endobody considers the body primarily as an arrangement of internal spaces. The human voice is shaped not only by vocal-fold vibration but by cavities: throat, mouth and changing vocal-tract geometry continuously reorganize its resonances. A bass drum also consists of a membrane coupled to an enclosed resonating volume. The work begins from this structural similarity.
