It Means "Light" (Speaker's Corner)

Speaker's Corner recording reimagined by Jonah Elrod.

"This piece was inspired by the location where the original sound recording took place, at the Speakers’ Corner at Hyde Park in London. People have been speaking and protesting there since the mid 1800s, and the source recording, to me, represents a tiny snapshot of the total collection of exchanged ideas. This hyper-object, something that we cannot experience within our short lifetimes, is represented by crowd noise rapidly speeding up and slowing down throughout the piece."
