Peter Traub installation, "Solera: for sound, site, and time," at UVA's Ruffin Hall

Peter Traub,  rendering for "Solera: for sound, site, and time."

Composer and installation artist Peter Traub, who is completing his Ph.D. in composition in UVA's Music Department, installs "Solera: for sound, site, and time" in Ruffin Hall for two weeks. He writes at his website, "Solera will spend each day accumulating and playing back the sonic activities and characteristics of the installation space – people passing through, conversations, machines, and music. Over the two weeks of the installation, the incidental sounds of each day and the acoustic resonances of the space will be layered upon each other, creating an aural memory of the space that will grow and change over time. Multiple visits to the piece are suggested." Ruffin Hall, 179 Culbreth Road, 650-918-7468.
