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.

Brandenburg Gate Museum

The Brandenburg Gate is an immersive film that takes the visitors through more than 300 years of Berlin history centered around the Brandenburg Gate. An interwoven mosaic consisting of documentary film footage, photographs, animations, and a spatial sound composition is presented on a 30 meters screen covering three walls and a 3D sound system with 38 loudspeakers positioned around, above, and below the audience. MNTN was used to produce the immersive soundtrack as well as for the mix on location.
