installations
A three-metre canopy of ninety-one hexagonal lights, suspended overhead. The Cellular Au-Tonnetz at architectural scale: the generative lattice becomes a ceiling, sound and colour rippling above the people gathered beneath it.
Mega-Hex
The Cellular Au-Tonnetz's first public showing, glowing in the archway of a stone barn at Come Bye 2020, Three Pools Farm. People pulled benches over to sit in front of it and watch it wind the night down.
Festival Debut
A sound-reactive polyhedral light sculpture: hundreds of pixels wrapped over an icosahedron, breathing in colour with the music around it.
Icosahedron
A sound-reactive sculpture hung at a club night at The Island, Bristol. Light offered back to a room already full of sound.
Night Piece
instruments
The core instrument, eleven prototypes deep. Cellular automata evolve across a Tonnetz lattice, and each cell is a pitch that sounds as it lights, so music and colour become two projections of one process. Played live from the browser.
Cellular Au-Tonnetz
A constellation of handheld sound-and-light orbs. Each is a self-contained wireless device; together they let a group shape one shared piece of audiovisual music simply by moving and turning them.
nOdes
A hand-built hardware controller for the instruments. 3D-printed, its illuminated encoders reach directly into the generative engine.
Control Surface
The hexagonal light panels in development: the physical substrate of the Tonnetz lattice, each cell an addressable pixel behind a diffuser.
