inSonic 2018: Algorithmic Spaces | Hands-On Demonstration

[08.12.2018]

The spatial sound control software »Zirkonium« was developed by the ZKM | Hertz-Lab. It is used, among other things, to control the Sound Dome. It is a package of free Mac OSX software tools for composing spatial music. The software allows composers to create spatial movement of sounds using an intuitive graphical interface. This movement can then be played back in real time via 2D or 3D loudspeaker systems.

Dan Wilcox is an artist and programmer at ZKM | Hertz-Lab. As part of »inSonic 2018: Algorithmic Spaces«, he presented the current version of the software solution and demonstrated its diverse creative possibilities.

In December 2018, the third edition of the festival »inSonic« took place at the ZKM. »inSonic« is a showcase for genre-spanning artistic confrontations with new media technologies and innovative concepts, which are explored in lectures, hands-on demonstrations, concerts and live coding performances.
