Sound Design
in Motion

  • Think in 3D 3D representation of sonic material, and use spatial tools like positioning and rotation in continuous transformations.
  • Sonic Texture Architecture Built in a non-gravitational space and physical realm, the kinetic interaction of its elements and triggering of sonic events.
  • Sound in Motion Here, the sound has no separate existence from space, time and motion. It is the result of a causal and visual narrative in motion.
  • Particles to Concrete Objects Transmitters sending particles or beams of light to trigger sonic events down to granular level with kinematic precision.
  • Scene Transitions Capture different scene organizations and animate continuous sequences / transformations between them.

Sound Design Meets
Visual Design

  • Visual Design Realistic 3D visual for a perfect narrative medium. Also optional additional scene textures and designs.
  • MIDI & OSC Control Full control of app parameters with MIDI CC controllers. Also full OSC remote control.
  • Presets Comes with 24 meticulously designed presets exemplifying true audio-visual art.
