Sound installation “Echo of Time”

Sound designer Patrick Tubin McGinley has mixed sounds of the cathedral’s imagined past, present, and future.

“Echo of Time” takes listeners to a medieval church and a feast in the non-existent restaurant, reminding that here we are also walking in the resting place of the dead. Among other things, McGinley has recorded the sounds and vibrations of the ground beneath the ruins and made it possible to perceive sounds the human ear cannot hear in everyday life.

Through the sounds, the “Echo of Time” invites people on a time journey and to reflect on what the ruins mean to them.
