Sound and the Acoustic Model: Capacities of Multimedia Usage

: This paper offers several possibilities for a creative approach in the field of audio-visual artistic endeavours (describing the how-to and the employed algorithms) based on concepts which turn to the spectral structure of sound, using its acoustic model as pretext for sonic developments by means of various techniques. Entfremdetes Ich oder die Anatomie des Schattens (The Aliented Self or The Anatomy of Shadow) for cello, live electronics and live video is a multimedia work where sound is processed in real time by live electronics, going through a spectral itinerary accompanying the multiple visual states of the performer: image, shadow, the image of the shadow. AquAcusTectonium is an audio-visual installation containing visual sound control algorithms: a dynamic sound spectrum continuously and interactively altered. The work is founded on a static, low sound which propagates in a generative-transformational manner through a labyrinth, crossing aquatic-visual media and generating a moto perpetuo spectral-sonic spatialized structure. Perspectrum is a sonic-visual construction on scientific bases, juxtaposing conceptual elements of the macro- and micro-cosmic physical space with an acoustic model, thus unifying the two states on a human scale.
