Interactive music experience: Blue

This piece of post rock music of Akira Kosemura is instrumental without any vocal. It focuses on creating a sort of atmosphere. The complicated feelings it brings about is called “Blue” by Akira. The interactive music experience which shares the same name seeks to visualize the emotional part of the music, through inviting the audience into the “blue ocean”. The light shining through the water, the group of fish swimming by, or the ambient sound of bubbles rising up…all these elements together create a beautiful wonder land of freedom.

Piece of music: Rhythm–Candy

The Zheng music of “conquer the typhoon” features jumping notes and fast rhythmic pattern. Depicting the scene of people fighting in the typhoon, the music does a great job adding to the urgency of the situation and the high-spirited atmosphere with strong musical tones. The music also uses the special tone of the Zheng instrument to imitate the sound of typhoon in some parts.

Kinetic Light Final Project: Rip–Eric(Candy)

  

Title: Rip

Project Description:

Rip is a kinetic light project, built and developed upon the idea of “abstration art” and “time and speed”. Audience should experience Rip in a room of total darkness so that people can get a more direct idea of space rip as the light appearing and disappearing. The project is intended to be self-explaining and intriguing with its movement and basic shape of rects.

Rip is of a easel scale. It is two-layered with the bottom layer of light source and the top layer of lots of rectangles forming a puzzle plane to prevent the light. Light source are digital light stripe. Lights are coded according to different rectangles. They are intended to form different light patterns with the movement of the rectangles. Kinetic part of the project is conducted by 12 solenoids which are coded to push back and force to control how many lights are shining out round the shape of the rect being pushed out (how thick the light strings are). The time and speed of pushing out the rects are somewhat random. Which rects are pushed out is also unexpected by the audience. There would not be any music except for the sound of soldnoids.
