MCM (Molecular Collision Model)

2003-2006 Peter Beyls

The MCM Project suggests a new model of advanced man-machine interaction in an audiovisual setting. Interaction is thought of as a reciprocal process of mutual influence rather than the expression of explicit control. MCM is a microscopic universe behaving according to its private physics. The program builds in the idea of colliding molecules as a first principle. Molecules engage in simple local interactions. However, the spatiotemporal patterns generated by MCM exhibit surprisingly life-like qualities. These patterns are interpreted as fluctuating musical structures in real-time. A human interactor interferes physically (using sensors) with the otherwise autonomous systems behaviour.  The result is an interactive installation featuring emergent machine behaviour as a consequence of shared man-machine initiative.

  

Phaser/Sleeper/Whisper

2005 Foton

How do we perceive sound? How does our brain (re)construct waves captured by our ears? Is what we hear really what's being sent out? "Phaser/Sleeper/Whisper" is a sound installation in three parts, dealing with shifting perceptions and spatial notions of sound. "Phaser" presents modulated frequencies, traveling around while changing pitch, affecting each other in the process. The listener's perception is tricked through techniques such as phase cancellation and a quad speaker setup.

Sleeper" and "Whisper" both play on shifting human voices, slowly coming together to form a strange, unnatural language. Here also, spatial sound design adds an element of trickery. The setup of "Phaser/Sleeper/Whisper" requires a dark and isolated room. No visuals are used - no light is present.






 

Pole für 2

The legendary Stockhausen piece, composed for the German pavilion at the Osaka '70 EXPO, reinterpreted by Arne Deforce on Cellotron, a midi interface on a deconstructed cello, and electronic sound by Eavesdropper. The spatialized sound on an 8 speaker system,  mixed by CRFMW, also serves as a modulator for the video signal that is being generated by a dual MX50 setup with source noise feedback.

Composition: K.H. Stockhausen

Performance: Arne Deforce, Eavesdropper, Visual Kitchen

Other artists and developpers: CRFMW (Centre de Recherches et de Formation Musicales de Wallonie asbl): Jean-Marc Sullon (audio mixing & spatialization), Patrick Delges (audio mixing, spatialization and Max/MSP coding)

Producers: Concertgebouw, Bruges (Belgium), Artefact Festival, Leuven (Belgium)

Première: 11/01/2003, Concertgebouw, Bruges (Belgium)

Contact: Sam Vanoverschelde (VisualKitchen vzw)
