Delta Elec. Co. Flashlight, speaker drivers, class-T digital amplifier.


During WW2, The Delta Electric Company made custom-built watertight lanterns, used by the Navy in ship crew compartments.

After abrasive blasting and powder-coating, the restored lanterns - now functioning as loudspeakers - represent the antithesis of their previous function and appearance: tools for war in battleship grey. As part of an installation, four lanterns are placed strategically within a room, with a 4-channel score specifically written for the sound sculptures.
