systems ∿ encounter
2017-2019 by Till Bovermann
an instrument to relate to the environment and to create contemporary experimental yet musical soundscapes in cooperation with the non-human environment. It can be played on different levels: the movements and sounds of its environment (particularly including the (non-human) players and listeners), are sensed via one or more cameras and microphones, while the sound synthesis structure can be “written” and changed by means of a symbolic representation. A word is a structure, a letter is a synth.
The result is a complex soundscape that links directly to the environment and its temporal dynamics.
