Glasshouse — Yerevan (2023) 06’00”

Excerpt from the site-specific sound art installation created for the atrium at Yerevan Botanical Garden commissioned by CYFEST 15, 2023. 

Emerging from four speakers, this piece comprises pure tones meticulously crafted to resonate and invigorate the architectural space of the greenhouse’s inner glass atrium at Yerevan Botanical Garden. The atrium, aptly described as a UFO-like structure, houses lush tropical and subtropical vegetation, along with several small ponds teeming with fish. This environment reminded me of South Florida, and inspired me to incorporate recordings of Cuban tree frogs that I have collected at Everglades National Park near Miami over the years. 

Gustavo Matamoros is a sound artist and composer living and working in Miami since 1979.
