Circular Reverberance: Experiment 1

Circular Reverberance is an interactive sound experiment that opens a space for quiet introspection. Inspired by the Chinese pictogram 回, which evokes the act of returning — to a place, a thought, or a state of being — the work unfolds as a gentle play of self-entertainment, where the artist listens to the echoes of his own mind.
