THE SOUND DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
2014 | GENERATIVE COMPUTER MUSIC
The Sound Digestive System is an audiovisual piece that uses the human digestive system behavior as an inspiration for algorithmic sound composition. If we conceive this system as conduits (esophagus, gastrointestinal tract) and spaces, then we can throw sound particles into these objects. A computer simulation generates the journey of these particles as the system builds itself over time.
