Tomás Saraceno // The Cosmic Dust Spider Web Orchestra

For his artwork The Cosmic Dust Spider Web Orchestra, Tomás Saraceno commissioned THE SOUND OF THE MOUNTAIN to spatially augment and translate optically detected dust particles into sound sources projected onto 32 loudspeakers. The sound waves thus produced set a living spider's web into vibrations, contributing to the sonic landscape. The interactive real-time rendering projected 128 sound sources onto 32 loudspeakers using the MNTN Spatial Sound System. The positioning of each of the sound sources was derived from a 3D camera detecting dust particles floating in a light beam. The spatial detection of individual dust particles was then used to translate positions into locations and movements of sound sources in the three-dimensional exhibition space.

Romanticum // Experience Exhibition

Romanticum is a permanent exhibition about the German Romanticism Period in the city center of Koblenz. The visitors experience a three-dimensional sound trip to the legendary Rhine Valley covering the entire exhibition space, where they acoustically cruise on a 19th-century steamboat. Boarding at dawn at the awakening harbor, steering along the river banks, and into the magical night hours spellbound by Lorelei, a famous local female water spirit, the sonic journey provides a humorous backdrop to the exhibits and informative text presented in the exhibition. THE SOUND OF THE MOUNTAIN developed the technical concept for the spatial loudspeaker array; the MNTN Production Suite was used to produce all audio content.
