Sound becomes memory when the space around it disappears.
This interview follows NØVA through the architecture of listening: how a sequence can behave like a room, and how a room can behave like a memory that has not finished forming.
Digital space, in this work, is not an escape from the physical. It is another kind of interior. Frequencies are placed the way furniture is placed. Silence is left where a window might be.
We speak about Phase Memory, about residual light, about the difference between atmosphere and decoration. NØVA returns often to the same point: the piece is finished when the space can continue without the artist standing in it.
The recording ends. The room does not.
