The Cavity Resonator is built to let people leave
messages, shake their booty, compose in circles and
Sing with The King.

The Cavity Resonator is built with two pneumatically
activated hip–swinging controllers, each
equipped with an authentically rock–and–roll microphone
and swept back roadster speakers, as well as a
projection screen.

The Cavity Resonator requires only compressed
air, projection and a machine to run PureData upon.
The Cavity Resonator is Open because The King
is Open.

The Cavity Resonator is a game, a composition tool, a social space and a hipswinging
Karaoke machine for Elvis wannabes.
The Sensory Circus, of which the Cavity Resonator is
part, is an environment of localised body–based interactions
installed in a temporary architecture. This architecture
is a labyrinthine system composed to develop a spatial
dramaturgy, bringing visitors from one part of the environment
to the next in a spatialised “choose–your–own adventure.”
A most important part of the Sensory Circus is the
interaction of the public. Exposing them to an environment
that operates unusually, the public is encourages to speculate
proto–scientifically about their experiences, to share
these speculations with others and to rediscover their own
motion.

The Cavity Resonator allows the visitors to act in space
using their feet as a control mechanism. The space is a
wire–frame environment consisting of walls, traces, Elvis icons and Karaoke bars.
The visitor lays down audio traces by singing into the microphone. By navigating
close to tracks, the visitor can hear what has been laid down previously. Thus
a form of spatialised sampler is made available. By navigating into the Karaoke
Bar spaces, the visitor can “Sing with the King” and recite favourite fragments of
Elvis.
