As part of the opening of [See] [Saw] [Sound] [Wave], Alvin Lucier’s Vespers (1969) was performed by Qais Assolo, Erik DeLuca, and Enongo A. Lumumba-Kasongo.

In Vespers (1969), performers equipped with Sondols (sonar-dolphins)—hand-held pulse wave oscillators—explore the acoustic properties of space by monitoring echoes. Over time, listeners receive a unique acoustic signature of the space, with echolocation serving as a metaphor for an embodied approach to navigating complex terrain.
