The drawing he derives these intervals from is akin to a \u201cmusical score\u201d, which Aslanidis has used in composing the sonic network series.&nbsp;It is from these compositional points that Brian May has written an algorithm which determines the characteristics and timing of the tones in relation to the points as conceived in the sound piece. The (sine wave) tones created are audio representations of circular forms.&nbsp;Brian May\u2019s sound piece uses the programming language SuperCollider for sound synthesis to compose, produce and play the piece, which is playing in conjunction with the painting from a computer through a custom installed sound system for the duration of the exhibition.<br>The sound piece is generative and infinite, with no fixed start or end point in the composition. This correlates with the idea of infinity, a basic element of the sonic network series.&nbsp;Consequently, the interaction between the sound piece, the painting and the observer is always different, as the painting perpetually shifts upon being viewed, which is mirrored by the sound piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The intention of the sound is to create an equivalent of the reverberating patterns and geometric shapes, resembling the patterns in the painting. In addition to this the composer has taken into consideration the structure and composition of the painting and responds to the moir\u00e9 patterns \u2013 represented via audio interference of the sine waves \u2013 known as beat frequencies, in the sound piece.&nbsp;Using SuperCollider, Brian May creates sounds which correspond to colours and forms emanating from the painting.&nbsp;Order and chaos is present in both the sound piece and the painting, the resulting effect being one of synergy between analogue and digital mediums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sonic Network No.9 was in \u201cFinding Our New Fort\u201d (an ETHAN COHEN PROJECTS exhibition of artwork by the artists of The KuBe Collective), curated by Isaac Aden and Joseph Ayers. The installation ran from 30.10.12 to 31.12.12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sonic Network no.9 was previously exhibited from 04.04.2012 to 29.04.2012 at White Box Gallery, New York City, USA and 07.10.2011 \u2013 26.11.2011 at Dr Julius Gallery, Berlin, Germany.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Special installation at Kunsthalle Beacon in upstate New York, USA.
