Syn Chron

DateThursday, November 12, 2009 at 17:48 tagged ,

It is not the latest project by Carsten Nicolai, but this site was not around by 2004, so I still want to share this with you, just because it creates such a beautiful image. You will have to imagine the sound. 

Syn Chron is an integral sculpture of light, sound and architecture. The images projected on the surface of the object are synchronized to sound, and the object forms an acoustic resonance body.

Mafoombey acoustic space

DateWednesday, September 23, 2009 at 1:01 tagged

A space created solely for listening to and experiencing music and sound, that's what Mafoombey is. The space, created by Martti Kalliala and Esa Ruskeepää is carved out of a pile of cardboard.

The organic shapes invite users to relax and enjoy the sound from the integrated six speaker surround sound system. Aim of the makers was to create the ultimate listening environment, with great acoustics. And it's beautiful, too!

The whole building is your instrument

DateMonday, June 1, 2009 at 15:02 tagged ,

It’s so inspiring to see people who don’t like to keep things moderate. Why not transform a whole building into an instrument? That’s what David Byrne did with his sound installation ‘Playing the Building’. Three types of sound inducing methods are used in the sound installation - wind, vibration and striking.

The devices attached to the building structure don’t make any sound themselves, they cause the building itself to generate the sounds.The installation is controlled from a conventional musical interface: the keyboard of an old organ. It seems like quite an experience to be able to influence the sound in a huge building using just one finger!

You can see Playing the Building this summer at the Roundhouse, London, 8 - 31 August 2009.
