Becoming an Ocean

Datum:
Locatie: Institute for Computer Music and Sound Technology, Zürich
In samenwerking met: Institute for Computer Music and Sound Technology, Zürich

Research and production residency at the Institute for Computer Music and Sound Technology, Zürich.

Becoming an Ocean is an experimental sound installation sprouting from the idea of using the qualities of acoustics to create a soundscape that only exists due to movement. The installation uses solely static pink noise and rotation of the speakers, aiming to create a sonic landscape of waves crashing on the seashore.
