Optical Scores
Optical scores project focuses on repurposing electromagnetic field inductors as musical interfaces: capturing invisible electromagnetic landscapes and making them audible both through induction and digital signal processing techniques, like resonators and neural audio synthesis. Inspired by a sustainable instrument design approach, optical scores are made using obsolete electronic components and circuit boards of discarded electronic devices, aiming to render perceptual inaudible wavescapes, latent data structures and model behaviours in physical, performative ways.
The project has been presented in solo performances and artistic collaborations (Nicola Privato, Miguel Angel Crozzoli, Gon Muruaga). Future creative collaborations include collaborative compositions and performances with Þóranna Björnsdóttir and Áki Ásgeirsson. A series of residencies for artistic production and workshops regarding the project have been scheduled at Inter Arts Center (Sweden), Augmented Performance Lab (Denmark), KSYME (Athens) and LabMat (Athens). Optical scores design and development is supported by the Intelligent Instruments Lab and Raflost festival in Iceland.
The project has been applied for funding to the Nordic Culture Point (Culture and Art Programme) for further development and dissemination.
