Composed as an environmental audio experience, “Errance 7” by French artist Laurent Chambert feels like what it must be like to sit in a sensory deprivation tank for over an hour as your mind fills in the blank of a lack of ambient sound. Maybe that’s the closest any of us living with full faculties will get to being put into suspended animation for interstellar travel on the “generation ships” of science fiction canon. The distant, traveling sound comes across as a fellow traveler in the psychosphere of a the quantum field that theoretically connects our matter and our minds with all other points in the universe through a base common frequency of energy that is the fundamental building block quanta of existence itself. “Errance” means “wander” or “wanderlust” in French, but also “mistake” or perhaps, to take some poetic license, the kind of mistake that leads to breakthrough, the kind you couldn’t plan for but turns out fortunate nonetheless.
