Signe is an audio art composition created by Steve Heimbecker specifically for his Turbulence Sound Matrix (2008). Signe is created with 3 distinct layers of sound (wind generated sine waves, a 1946 Royal Quiet Deluxe typewriter, a grand piano), all augmented by the flowing wave patterns of the wind. Simple enough in conception, but unbelievably complex in reality, Signe fully engages the sonic potential of the Turbulence Sound Matrix, to create an audio art composition that is in constant motion, morphing itself through time and space at very high resolution — riding the waves of the air and the wind, completely immersing us in the 64 channel speaker array of the TSM, creating a mesmerizing and completely hypnotic fabric of sound that is in short, a completely new listening experience.
