AESTHESIS

This work is an interactive sound installation,
mainly based on a self-designed computerized musical instrument,
which reacts to the movements of a performer thanks to a series of detectors.

The gestures made around the instrument allow specific sounds to be created together,
working live with a computer program developped in this aim.
Simultaneously,
a second program interprets the same data to generate several rays of lights.

This disposal accordingly allows the performer, thanks to a simple gesture,
to completely modify the perception that the viewer has in relation to the audio (and visual) space,
and therefore shrouds him or her in the variations of the generated music.

In comparison with the rest of the works realised during my time in ECAL,
this piece represents my achievement in trying to create a relation between sound and interaction,
in a visual and audio point of view.
