Felting in Stereo
An invitation to create a record-shaped felt piece guided by sound. As a series of records play, participants translate rhythm, tone, and atmosphere into texture, density, and form. Facilitated by Sophia Kuhl.
Establishing the auditory environment—selecting records that provoke specific tactile responses.
Exploring the raw wool and needles. Participants begin to map the vibration of the music to the density of the fiber.
As the music shifts, so do the gestures—moving between precision and spontaneity to shape the felt record.
The sound becomes an artifact. A physical record of the listening experience, shaped by vibration and mood.
Reviewing the handmade artifacts—noticing how different ears interpreted the same vibrations into unique densities.
A conversation on the limits of translation. How does memory influence the way we "feel" a sound?
