about

Topology Chamber 2 was composed in 2015 in 5th order 3-D ambisonics. The composition was created with the sonification of motion data recorded from a human playing with a balloon and a cymbal. Sonification is the process of representing data or information through sound, turning non-auditory data into audible patterns and structures.

In Topology Chamber 2, motion tracking markers were strategically placed on key points of the performer's body, balloon, and cymbal. A high-speed motion tracking camera system recorded the 3-D location of each marker while the performer explored the kinetic and acoustic properties of these instruments. Simultaneously, a microphone array captured the actual sounds produced by the instruments.

Each marker generated a spatial motion dataset. Analyzing this data, along with the acoustic recordings, unveiled 'rules' representing the real-world performance system. These rules were then employed to compose new 'fictional' datasets, subsequently sonified into the sound materials of the composition.

The sonification process took place in an interactive software called Cheddar, developed in MaxMSP.

One objective was to render the motion, which is itself inaudible until it strikes the acoustic object, audible. With this approach I was interested in creating tangible sound - sound that you feel has a dynamic and physical connection to the listener - as if it were a real, touchable object.

The track presented is rendered in binaural format using the APL Virtuoso software and is specifically designed for headphone listening only.

One of her strongest works ever. This album has deep ambient drone instrumentals, but also some almost krautrock-y moments which I seriously love. 5/5. zensounds
