Sonic Landscapes

Overview

An audiovisual installation that captures ambient city soundscapes and transforms them in real time into evolving visual compositions. Microphones placed at different urban locations feed audio data into a custom processing pipeline.

Technical Approach

Built with Max/MSP for audio analysis and TouchDesigner for visual generation. Each frequency band drives different visual parameters — low frequencies shape terrain, mids control color, highs trigger particle systems.

Exhibition

The installation ran for two weeks in a converted warehouse space, with projections spanning three walls. Visitors could influence the visuals by contributing their own sounds.
