[re]BO[u]NDS ~ expanded media
*developed at ZKM [zentrum fur kunst und medientechonolgie]*
[for controlled drippers, lights sync, realtime audio processing + electronic sounds]
---------------
Our intention is to investigate the dynamics of induced chaos. We think that the composer must try to handle this "liquid chaos" in time and in space and to channel it into audio cables and speakers in order to interpret it (as Walter Benjamin wrote: enchant chaos momentarily into world). Our metaphysical effort is to produce this “confusion” in a visionary way, allowing its energies, gravitations and internal strengths to manage the process of forming a structure autonomously, like a crystal. We would like to explain what seems to be apparently complex and make it human.
[re]BO[u]NDS is an intermedia installation /performance; an exhibition that tries to reach the viewer from both auditory and visual points of view. It renounces to present itself as an autonomous sound object as it plays a composition in real time.
At the center of the room a vertical structure is located, composed of 3 long glass cylinders filled with water, placed below the drippers. When a drop of water falls within the cylinder, the sound of the drop is captured and processed in real-time by a computing architecture which also oversees the spatialization and the syncronized lights.
The original sound, like an embryo of a domino effect, will rebound in all directions through all sound sources. From the “crystalline” sound of a drop of water to the “crystallization” of chaos due to its fall to the ground. The multiphonic system will make audible all sound directions, highlighting several dialogues between sound points.
This “bounced structure” will be created by a sound patch designed with a range of delays and electronic elaborations wich are characterized by parameters that evolve in the time domain. These rebounds include macro-sounds (groups of autonomous cells) and micro- sounds (small portions of the drop of water).
Imaginary forces (we will refer to them as attractions) join speakers as cells of the same structure, drawing molecular BONDS within the space. The original sound, like an embryo of a domino effect, will REBOUND in all directions through all sound sources. From the “crystalline” sound of a drop of water to the “crystallization” of chaos due to its fall to the ground.
