06 Sonic Beings - HOME
2022





Format: Performance
        15 minutes 
       
Sonic Beings is an audiovisual live performance that was held at Milton Court in London on July 6th 2022.

The musical set was composed by Nicola Perikhayan and mixed electronic music with live performances by various musicians.

The visuals were created according to the theme and evolution of the music. Starting with vocal pieces, eventually evolving into sounds inspired by architectural sites, the visuals project an understanding of sonic organisms, whether as human beings or societal assets. Ultimately, confronting the viewer with alternative ways of perceiving sound through visuals.

The creation of the visuals was done through traditional 3D animation but also through the use of emerging technological tools, such as face tracking, photogrammetry and AI.
