The Sound
Once the tracking system has obtained the ID, and the subject is recognized, the gathered information will be used to create and trigger a personal representation of the subject. This would be represented as auditory and visual events. The visual representation is explained in Visual Objects. The sound would be generated by a set of acoustic musical instruments inside a metalic resonator placed inside the circular structures that will be placed in the Space.
The instruments will be designed and built specially for the space. The types of sound produced will be divided into
- percussive: This will be simmilar to wooden blocks, marimba-like sounds and possibly membraphone.
- melodic: Looking for a sinusodial sound with a minimum (but some) partials. A modified theremin controlled by a robot has the sound we are looking for.
- Low frequency, sustained sounds: To be used as a pedal, just to fill space when needed. Even though it would be better to have different frequencies available, one would be enough.
