Basement Bass was part of the exhibition Volume: Hear Here at Justina M. Barnicke Gallery.

A rotating floor transforms into a bass speaker producing the  bass end sounds of a field recording from the sub basement of the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery–the droning room-scaled fans, humming air vents, gurgling and spurting water of the boiler system, etc. When a viewer stands on the floor, they feel the sound as much as they hear it.
