This research has involved the design and manufacture of a portable floor, using modified loudspeakers to create the sensation of low frequencies in music from non-acoustic vibrational energy. The project has been driven by development of my previous research, which has explored the qualities of high intensity low frequency sound in music experience as well as my professional experience with low frequency noise issues in my immediate environment. I have aimed to explore the qualities of sensation in music experience and performance to contribute to this under-researched field. As less acoustic energy is required to create music sensation when using vibration technology, I hope to eventually use vibration systems to reduce low frequency noise issues and enrich the experience of amplified music.

My tests with vibration systems and large-scale audio systems have developed my understanding of approaches to using low frequency sound and where human perception crosses between what is heard and what is felt throughout the body. From this I have formed both an awareness of the capabilities and limitations of vibrational technology and an enthusiasm for exploring new applications for artistic use and development for non-music based installations.
