The pervasiveness of electric-powered motors and devices is undeniable. Each one emits a range of sounds that register the kinectic movement of mechanical parts, and the difference between ideal geometry and physics compared to the reality of moving parts to become imbalance, distorted, expanded or misaligned during prolonged periods of rotations or oscillations. “RPM hums” will introduce you to such live-resonating mechanical creatures found within walking distance of Performance Arcade. Here, we will listen closely to what others might call out as noise pollution; we will attune to the motor’s pitch and frequency, to hum, to vibrate with it as an empathetic body.
