“Doors (Sonic Memories)” is a sound installation by Dallas musician, sound designer and painter Patrick Murphy. Ten handmade wooden boxes are affixed to a single wall. Each box, when opened, plays a looped musical phrase derived from antique music boxes. Visitors to the gallery can open or close the boxes at will. When a single box stands open, a solitary phrase echoes delicately in the room. When all ten are open, a dense and complex musical composition resounds in the space. Visitors to the gallery direct the performance. In this way, the gallery itself becomes a musical machine not unlike the boxes from which the sounds are derived.
