Recycled Sounds on Tapes
Immersive Sound Dialogue: Researching Mechanical Feedback, Tape Loops, and Autonomous Sound Recycling
Two cassette recorders engage in a conversation. Their mechanical sounds are captured with contact microphones, processed, looped, and transformed. The result is an endless drone emerging from a tape loop of recycled sound. Old machines are given new life, they speak, respond, and collectively create a sound that slowly breathes between noise, time, and memory. This was showcased at Fort Maarsseveen in October 2025.
This project is the result of a collaborative research and experimentation process with Jim Dermois, Mischa, Milan and Marijn where we explored the use of recycling to create this installation.
Composition with 4DSOUND Spatialization
Immersive Composition: Researching & Exploring Multichannel Audio, Surround Sound and Spatialization with 4DSOUND
In collaboration with Jim Dermois, this project focused on composing a minimal, ambient, and neo-classical piece designed specifically for 4DSound spatialization. We experimented how movement and placement of sound in a three-dimensional space (well, four-dimensional with 4dsound) can deepen emotional impact and immersion. The work was selected for presentation at Amsterdam Contact, where it was showcased alongside other HKU projects.
This project is the result of a collaborative research and experimentation process with Jim Dermois, where we explored the use of spatialization and techniques to create an immersive composition.
Bio-Sensing Interactive Installation
Interactive Installation: Researching & Exploring Light, Camera & Sound
In this collaborative research with Jim Dermois, we explored how light, camera, and sound can interact to form an immersive installation. Using light as input, we developed a luminance tracking system in TouchDesigner that controlled virtual strings. These data were sent to Max, where we designed a Karplus-Strong-based sound engine using gen~ and implemented microtonal tuning to match the string visuals. The result was a responsive, multichannel audio-visual environment shaped by bio-sensing and light interaction.
This project is the result of a collaborative research and experimentation process with Jim Dermois, where we explored the use of light, camera, sound, which is bio-sensing to create an interactive installation.
