Sound Sculpture

Sound Sculpture is an interactive sound and light instrument for spontaneous, cooperative composition. 25 location-aware blocks comprise a massive, wireless midi controller. Each cube represents a note in spatial dimension and time, and the public’s interaction and placement of the cubes creates musical structures. Various sound and lights scores are prepared and realized in collaboration with the public.

It is like walking onto the staff paper, picking up the notes and moving them around, thereby changing pitch, rhythm, melody and harmony. 

In this way participants are creating physical and sonic structures collectively and simultaneously.
