sin(x)

main project for semester topic "Urban Nature"

24:00 min, 4-channel-soundinstallation, 2021

Over the course of 24 minutes, sin(x) creates organic soundscapes that merge into one another. The characteristics of the four different loudspeaker constructions have an influence on the sound of the audio signals, depending on the material and shape. All sounds were created using FM synthesis, which is based on sine tones. sin(x) raises the question of the extent to which there is a system behind nature or whether this system only has to be random enough for us to perceive it as natural. When one “day” is over, the next begins in a slightly different form.
