Beyond: 16 channel light & sound installation

A stereo mixdown of the soundtrack for the "Cluster" light and sound installation. Original soundtrack is 8 channel, therefore some content may sound weird in the stereo mixdown...

Cluster @ DayForNight

The soundtrack for "Espills", a laser sculpture to be released soon

Sand>Glass>Dust

Stereo sound track for an 8 channel audio installation... this track will be mixed with sounds coming from a self-made  multichannel synthesizer, filling the mid-low part (kind of wobble thing...)
this is made for an audiovisual installation by MID and Playmodes, consisting of a kinetick LED sculpture (The Particle) and 8 motorized blue laser beams (BlueBeams)

bROKEN mECANICS

Work in progress for a long term installation featuring real-time generated light and sound. These are the first outputs of the generative music system

Playmodes is an audiovisual research collective; this is its sound repository. 

All our music is made using custom software and hand-coded digital synthesis. We create our own algorithmic sequencers; we create our own synthesizers; we turn pixels into sound, and we treat sound and light as the exact same thing.
