An immersive space with eight speakers placed around the listener for multichannel audio projection. Two different works are projected within the space; Changing Moods by Thanasis Epitideios and Aquarius by Apostolos Loufopoulos.
Changing Moods is created using iNature, an application developed by Thanasis Epitideios utilising the Pure Data language. Though this application sounds are generated and mixed in real-time via noise generators and oscillators, utilising renown sound synthesis techniques such as FM, additive, subtractive etc.
Aquarius is an acousmatic work, which is based on real recordings of wind, rain and thunder soundscapes, organised as a musical atmosphere. The combination of these two works reflects a study on the hybridity, which arises through convergence between the natural (sound) world and a new, digitally modelled and electronically generated sound world.
This study is carried on as part of the doctoral research of candidate Thanasis Epitideios regarding digital modelling of Nature and sound mimesis.
Created in the sound studio of the Department of Audio & Visual Arts of the Ionian University, using equipment and research developed within the creative grounds of the HAL Action (Hub of Art Laboratories), operated by the Department of Audio & Visual Arts in Corfu.
Curated by Hub of Art Laboratories (Greece)
