PHOTOPHONICS “The Light is the Conductor”

Photophonics, a collaboration between video artist Bruno Mathez and sound artist Mike Blow, is a site-specific light-to-sound instrument which uses projected images to create a direct and vital link between audio and visual media. Musical notes are produced by small sound module circuits. Each module is a minimal analog oscillator which can be tuned, with a light sensor that reacts immediately to light falling on it - the brightness controlling the volume and tone of the note. This allows direct manipulation of the audio produced using projected light beams and patterns, resulting in a hypnotic audiovisual experience.
