In this iteration of The Permian Recordings, the installation adapts Co-Lab’s unique outdoor exhibition space, turning the gallery’s concrete culvert into an enormous infrasonic subwoofer, a speaker at the scale of architecture. 

The Permian Recordings are subterranean audio recordings from the Permian Basin, a section of West Texas known for oil and gas extraction near the towns of Midland and Odessa.

The Port of Long Beach Recordings capture the subsurface vibrations of sand, surf, and distant cargo ships traversing America's largest port.

Volcanic Drift presents the subteranean sounds of Yellowstone’s super caldera, cut into vinyl records, and played back through a pair of custom built subwoofers. Because a portion of this audio extends below the range of human hearing (the infrasonic), these recordings are felt as well as heard.

Enact a Preservation reconstructs the unrealized view of Mies van der Rohe’s Resor House near Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The partially completed house, originally designed to span a wide mill creek, was destroyed in a flood in 1943.
