"Room Tone is a project is developed by artist Brandon LaBelle and attemps to instigate conversation between sound and architecture, starting with a set of audio recordings of the artist’s apartment in Berlin. The audio recordings were sent to architects, designers and artists around the world whose task was to make a physical model of the apartment using the sounds as their only source of information. In this way, a process of translation and interpretation developed, incorporating an understanding, however factual or fantastical, of the auditory into rendering a spatial form.
The publication documents the project’s various contributions, and includes an essay by architectural critic Robin Wilson, an interview with the artist by Elena Biserna, and a lecture on shared space by Brandon LaBelle."
