Project title
Machine Music: Speculative Circuits and Oracular Sound
Project description

This research project delves into the sonic possibilities of machine-mediated perception, exploring sound synthesis and composition as a means of expanding the boundaries of auditory experience. The project focuses on the dynamic interplay between machine-driven musical language and compositional techniques, emphasizing the cathartic potential of sound. It positions analogue technology as a vital, circuital catalyst that shapes and enhances sensory perception, while sound synthesis becomes a form of cosmic speculation—translated into vibrations and sonic forms—that has the power to redefine and reframe our understanding of the sensory world and how it is perceived and interpreted.
