Old Bones

Going deeper inside a spider web. Multiple spider web variations interact across a spectrum of sonic textures. The sounds are based on a sonification method of a spider web as described in the references below [1-2], part of a larger collaboration with Tomás Saraceno, Saraceno Studios, Ally Bisshop, Thomas Muehletahler, and Evan Ziporyn, and the MIT Center for Art, Science and Technology (CAST).

Several individual webs constructed by Cyrtophora citricola are played in this piece, creating an overlaying soundscape of different shades. The piece includes a rhythm track for added structure, but all other sounds you hear are generated from the sonification of the spider web. 

The image [3] shows a 3D spider web, lit up using a green laser during scanning. The spider is visible in the top middle as she constructs the web.
