SONIC FORMS - Roland Emile Kuit - Worldpremiere
Sonic environments | Orbits for public and private spaces
In the tradition of Takehiha Kosugi and Alvin Lucier, Kuit needs to explore the fundamental physics of acoustics wherby the concept of time and space as a vital continuum is morphed with its surroundings.
In his lab, Kuit explored the behaviour of orbiting Lissajous figures:
Dynamic synthesis is used to create information streams on a van der Pol oscillator.
A system of parametric equations: {\displaystyle x=A\sin(at+\delta ),\quad y=B\sin(bt),} x=A\sin(at+\delta ),\quad y=B\sin(bt)
Design principles: balance, harmony, gradation, repetition, contrast, dominance.
Design elements: line, shape, size, direction, texture, hue/tone
A mutual relationship exists between the elements and their structure. The structure provides the elements with their specific, perhaps changing, meaning in nano timbre/ time.
This information comes from so-called transients whereby the duration varies between a small part of a period, from 1 usec to 3 or 4 milliseconds.
'Articulation' functioning as identity.
This onset as impulse makes it possible to distinguish the identities of these sonic forms and transforming them to autonomous audio sculptures.
The structure works as a context.
The elements determine which structural measures they can be subjected to in order for their identity to be enhanced, for their meaning to be differentiated and extended.
