Sound Art Installation

Touch scrren installation with motion sensor
The installation has been designed for an art gallery, or a space that would benefit from an ambient soundscape.
While moving around, the visitor activates a motion sensor causing one of several short original compositions to play, interspersed with atmospheric ambient recordings. After a piece finishes, another will start when movement is again detected.
It has been created to associate sound and vision as a unified experience and create an immersive meditative environment.
A Raspberry Pi computer links the motion sensor via a Bluetooth connection to loudspeakers. The software allows for easy updating with new audios to keep the listener experience fresh and the content relevant.

Once in situ, the installation simply needs turning on and the programme set running.
My composition process is working towards a unified combination of electronic improvisation, traditional composition method and natural sound recordings. The aim is for the listener to experience the interconnected nature of the environment.
