Cubic Music (2003)
For final year degree show I created a large scale experimental musical performance space using a grid of 64 hidden pressure mats surrounded by quadrophonic speakers all hooked up to a custom built Max/MSP program.
I wrote three musical pieces for this ‘instrument’ that the viewing public could ‘play’.
Three compositions were; a sound collage of human voices that became more/less coherent based on viewer movement, polyphonic study where public controlled length of four interlocking rhythmical phrases, and a more conventional piece of music that ramped up/down in texture/timbre based on number of participants in room.
Was nominated for best in show award.
