StarWaves

StarWaves is an audiovisual sound architect, the embodiment of sound, space and visual design rolled into one.  StarWaves puts you in a non-gravitational environment. It can import the sonic material in its concrete form as recorded files. Then this digital data is being represented as 3D rigid physical forms in space. We name them “the platform blocks” distributed spatially, a structure which stems from the sonic material being imported. There can be 100s of them, reaching the granular levels of sonic material. The layout of the platforms can be designed with 3D tools like positioning, rotation; they can be stretched, bent, scattered along their physical dimensions in continuous transformations. StarWaves uses on its scene the transmitters which send particles and beams of light to the space ( reminiscent to particle behavior of light or sound ) They hit the platform blocks ( representing the sonic material ) get reflected and collide with further objects, travel in distance until they die. The time they collide with these rigid bodies they trigger sonic events and start a flow of synthesis processes depending on the kinematic behavior. It is this continuous spatial interaction, this physical realm which composes the sonic being and applies continuous transformations on its texture. On StarWaves, we don’t interact directly with the sound data as on a standard sound synthesis tool but we design the architecture of the scene which will compose the sonic organization through the kinematic interactions and let perform this on a timeline. Here, the sound has no separate existence from space, time and motion. " This is a standalone app, and not a plugin. " Please check the website for youtube app video / tutorial links.
