Cyma was created to double as artwork and acoustic treatments inside Pulp’s two recording studio spaces. The visual design takes cues from Brian Eno’s intentions with ambient music in that it “induces calm and a place to think.” The work recedes when artists need to focus and provides a place for the eye to alight when needed. The entire project spans two studios: the larger (shown here) is defined by two 11x18 foot wall panels and accompanied by two dozen hexagonal ceiling baffles. The design in the larger studio references the work of 18th century physicist, musician, and meteoriticist, Ernst Chladni who discovered and documented the phenomena of standing wave patterns. This room uses twenty different vibration patterns and translates them through rhythmic stippling and long linear contours into a resist-dye process onto polyester fabric. The textile panels are atmospheric and intimate counterpoints to the structural wooden elements and grand scale of the space.
