Music technology laboratories works on finding new audio descriptors to classify/process audio, music and sounds. What if those tools were in hands of visual art, and see what does we see from what the machine can hear.
Based on an architectural lighten structure from Romain Tardy, the idea was to bring this structure to live and really listen to the music.
The musician makes its live music depending and how he feels his public, here the machine is directly linked to that communication. The machine feels the music and process visuals.
The idea was to experiment visually the musical descriptors and how we could enhance the relation with the public through animation.
