In the late 1950s, audio engineers developed the plate reverb, a crude electromechanical device to simulate the reverberant qualities of a large concert hall.
“For David Griesinger” inverts this spatial relationship, turning the device itself into an instrument by exciting it with resonators and turning it into a feedback system using the vibrations picked up by a piezo mic resting on its surface.
