Seven Sphere Journey

This project explores orbits and oscillations in 8 dimensions using the octonion algebra and related mathematical structures. The project is for now mainly aimed at live performance and 8-channel pieces. It is realized as some very large Pure Data Externals

Live performance at LAC, Linux Audio Conference, may 2017, link to youtube

Circle Scriptures 3, 2017 CircleScriptures3__stereo.ogg
Octophonic piece mixed for stereo, computer

Concerning the size of the sun concerning_the_sun.ogg
A variation on this piece was performed at SMC, Helsinki, july 2017, computer and voice

Text fragments from Heraclitus' fragments:
Concerning the size of the sun, it is the width of a human foot... And even the barley drink separates if it is not stirred.

Quasicrystal SoundField 1

Quasicrystal Sound Field 1 is an interactive sound installation. The sound synthesis is based on the Quasicrystal Phasefunction first published in 2009. Please refer to
www.eyemaginary.com/Portfolio/QuasicrystalSampling.html
The Quasicrystal Phasefunction offer a rather simple possibility to program these new patterns. Aperiodic order is a characteristic property for the structure of quasicrystals.

Audio excerpts: early excerpts from studio recordings QCtrio1.mp3

computer, violin-Jacob Plooij, sheetmetal -DFF, voice - Vilbjørg

here is a simple example of chuck code for the Quasicrystal phase function QCphF

the Quasicrystal Phasefunction f(z) -1 to 1 and -i to i,
10-fold rotational symmetry,
red is minimum (-10), blue 0 and green is maximum (10)

Recordings with DFF on metal sheets

update november 2013 - Steel sheet and voice :YellowLeaves.mp3

april 2013 - Brass sheet and Electronics : Magicicada.mp3
DFF on his rather new brass sheet, the interactive synthesizer units are build in Max, using fractal samples and a spectral 13 tone harmonic system.

The squirrel Canons:

The harmonic movement in these compositions is generated by traversing twigs and branches of the Stern-Brocot-tree via matrix multiplication.
((this matrix multiplication also allowed some paths between fractions which actually do not directly belong to the Stern-Brocot-tree :: multiplying by the "wrong" inverse matrices allowed some circular movements and sort of labyrinths))
The over all form is somewhat fugue like, though microtonal indeed. .. I did an mp3 compression of 320kbs to give space for the subtle dissonances.
play-back advice: low volume and quality amplification:

3 short compositions based on modular arithmetic with prime numbers (2014) ====> ChucK code

PrimeCircle - quadratic residue

PrimePop - cubic residue

PrimeOrder - quadratic residue

fOrm

based on samples generated from the mandelbrot-set algorithm - orbiting points close to the boundary + some spectral arithmetic.

BureauMaschine & the German Voice

-- Jens Vetter (Dresden) synths and theremin , Vilbjørg (Amsterdam) poetry cutups on F Nietzche's Also sprach Zarathustra.

** Das Mensch ist etwas dass Ã¼bertrieben werden muss ** Überhund Überdosis ** Erhebt eure Herzen , erhebt eure Beine , wer seine Ziele nähe komt der tantzt ** Licht bin ich, AAAch wäre ich Dunkel ** Was sind die Menschen fÜr den Affen ** Ich Zweifler aber ziehe es in Zweifel, dafÜr komme ich aus Europa ** ** Kommt nun die Nacht ***
