Research
2011-2020 Spatial Audio
I started my investigation into spatial audio as part of my Bachelor thesis in sound art and interactive programming. The technical aspects of this field where highlighted in my paper “Spatial Audio in virtual Environments”.
During and after my studies, I developed the Plugin “SPASM for Live” at V2_, Institute for the Unstable Media in Rotterdam. SPASM for Live is a plugin for Ableton Live to create spatial audio composition.
This tool gives the composer the possibility to create spatial headphone compositions in Ableton Live, where the artist can entirely focus on the creation of sonic environments, rather than programming it.
In my second (interdisciplinary) thesis “From illusionary art to immersive spatial audio engines”, I focused on the implementation, use and artistic context of such a system.
2014-2018 The park experience
Since my Master studies “the park experience” is my main topic of my independent research. I investigate the role of a park in an urban environment and look for sonic cues, which seem to have an impact on such an experience.
Until this point, I created three artworks which focus on different aspects of sounding natural environments.
These works have the function to let my audience experience my investigations, rather than reading about it.
Noctune Ensemble (2014) is a multichannel performance and play with the spatial interaction of chirping crickets;
Biophonic Garden (2015) displays a possible dialog between 80 young corn plants.
Splits and Cracks (2016) invites the audience to listen to the sonic structures inside a slice of wood, that occur due to changing moisture content.
