about

10-33 cm is a audio work of varied proportion and calculated shape originally released as the first digital edition on ROOM40 in 2008. Based on the ideas associated with String Theory, this offering from Canada’s France Jobin is a compelling meditation on the nature of sound in time.

10-33cm revisited is a remastered version of the original works as well as two new tracks created in the context where 15 years have passed since this release and the fact that France was finally able to study quantum physics during the pandemic.

“10-33 cm is the theoretical size of the strings that makes up the universe.” Jobin explains,” Resonance is the vibrational pattern, which determines what kind of particle the string is, and thus the type of particle is the movement of the string and the energy associated with this movement.”

A great video that helps our understanding of the infinitely small was created in 1977 - The powers of 10 - watch here: youtu.be/0fKBhvDjuy0

With 10-33 cm, Jobin creates a shimmering mirror that reflects on our somewhat limited understanding of these strings as they slip in and out of the dimensions we are aware of. More so, each of the pieces suggests a visionary ‘vibration chart’, that explores the possible resonances of these theoretic discourses. Through sound, Jobin’s explorations of String Theory are made almost tactile – a refined bridge between rhetoric and creation.

The newest interpretation of this idea is revisited with two new tracks France created. Her studies have had her revisit this theory with a broader perception, one that includes uncertainty, probabilities and fluidity of time which are present in all aspects of our lives.

Her recent studies focused on entanglement and the prevalent theories that attempt to explain this most peculiar concept Entanglement will be the subject of more sound studies. Stay tuned!
