PPIM Presents:
An Original Listening Experience
The unveiling of PPIM’s custom-built engineering monitors in conjunction with Illinois State University
Fri April 24, 7:00pm
Sat April 25, 2:00pm
Join us for this unique, intimate, seated event in the museum’s main showroom. We will play tracks you’ve never heard before through a pair of custom-made speakers, the sound of which you’ve likely never experienced.
This event celebrates the arrival of a set of unparalleled engineering monitors custom-designed by Aaron Paolucci and built by his students at Illinois State University. These speakers were created for cutting-edge transparency and three-dimensional sound fields, pushing the limits of sound quality. In a world of earbuds, low-end speakers, and secondary music, it’s a rare opportunity to hear pivotal tracks in our archive through such a uniquely crafted system.
While we can’t say exactly what you’ll hear at this event, we can tell you that the museum’s audio archives feature artists connected to many of the artifacts and sections throughout our main gallery, where the intimate seating for this event will take place.
Unreleased material could include:
This project has been made possible through a partnership with the School of Creative Technologies within the Wonsook Kim College of Fine Arts at Illinois State University. Aaron Paolucci instructed and guided students, Aries Clark, Teala Torres, Harley Meyers, Finley Hast, Sam Machek, and Lucas Ford, to build these monitors based on Aaron’s original design.
Refreshments provided.
We look forward to hosting you for this special event!
