Swells
(April 18 – May 3, 2025)
Oakland-based interdisciplinary artist Ven Voisey has created a site-specific composition that explores his relationship to the space within Audium. The show is an exploration of swells: how space is occupied by sounds that inhabit, infiltrate, expand, and then dissipate.
This piece explores the specific sounds of Audium: the hum of the breaker box, the phasing pulse of the equipment cooling fans, door hinges, water pipes, and how the exterior sub-audible sounds of traffic make the building shake at times, creating an almost wave-like sound.

The Depths
May 16, 23-31, 2025
Head down below, to a place beneath the surface. A place where time slows down, and sonic events unfold with subtle precision and startling intent. The Depths is a sound world that asks for your patience, but where you end up is worth the wait.
Listen as liquid drips & drops land on sluggish synth drones. Horns improvise saturated melodies while flying above you. Wind whips at your front and back. A contrabass tickles your feet. You are being drawn into The Depths- a multichannel sound composition & installation by Dave Shaff. Featuring musical excerpts from the album holistic management by Joel Reber.
