Synopsis
Synopsis

This multi-year sonic odyssey is a project devoted to crafting original compositions that span architecture, visual, word, science, and movement. It explores how these disciplines intertwine, converging into a breathtaking aesthetic synesthesia—mini-sketches that act as preludes to a broader conceptual architecture.

 

In 2024, the project drew inspiration from the textures of the Natural History Museum, the rotations of the Concourse, and the visionary curves of the 1958 Philips Pavilion. These were woven together with the unpredictable elegance of Lorenz attractors, the sway of long-tail distributions and optimisation functions, forming an unfolding sonic narrative.

 

This year, the exploration deepens, inspired by the vibrant rhythm of the Maasai Adumu dance, the stark beauty of an ink artwork of a Sapporo mountain, and the pulsing physics of a bouncing phenomenon.
