LIEW NIYOMKARN: EITHER WAY IS

either way is: 

I began crafting short texts about sounds, designed to accompany my live sets — these pieces are a fusion of sound and word. I have always wanted to explore sound in a way that doesn’t sound like sound theory, inviting connections from different angles and embracing a vast spectrum of practices.
In my research on the essence of sound, I stumbled upon a tapestry of technical terms that resonate with multiple interpretations: free field, image shift, LEDE (Live End Dead End), baffle, and decoupling. Each term, a gateway to myriad possibilities, echoes through the corridors of perception
Sound waves are inherently periodic, and phase cancellation occurs when there is a difference in timing and amplitude between two or more sources
Imagine two waves, each a distinct ripple in the fabric of sound, meeting in the vast expanse of space. If their peaks and troughs align perfectly, they amplify one another, creating a symphony of heightened resonance. But if their crests and troughs meet in discord, they clash and cancel out, leaving a void, a whisper where once there was a roar.
This delicate ballet of waves, moving in and out of sync, paints an invisible picture of harmony and conflict.  Something can’t be possessed, maybe only borrowed—undefined property.
