Pendular 是一个交互式音乐表演。它探索了悬挂物体的物理运动作为一种操纵合成音乐的方法。 利用风和光，表演者以二重奏的方式控制这些物体反应的环境。 当物体在空中摆动和旋转时，它们的运动被映射到声音的变化——从平静和可预测到混乱和随机。
艺术家试图呈现我们如何被吸引并且沉迷于观察自然运动，例如飞向天空的气球或永恒摆动的钟摆。 这些运动构成了我们现实中无限并相互关联的变量，并为我们提供了冥想与沉思的时刻。 通过使用圆形和方形——代表基本物理构建块的几何图元，我们试图用它们的相互作用来捕捉感性和浪漫，并通过运动和声音激发人们的想象力和记忆。
Pendular is an interactive musical system that explores the physical motion of hanging objects as a method for manipulating synthesized music. Using wind and light, we work in tandem to control the environment to which these objects react. As the objects swing and spin through the air, their movements are interpreted as sonic transformations ranging from calm and predictable to chaotic and random.
We are naturally drawn to observing movements such as a balloon flying into the sky, or a pendulum swinging for eternity. These motions give us a glimpse into the infinite interconnected variables that make up our reality and provide us with a moment of meditative peace and contemplation. We use geometric primitives — a circle and a square — to highlight how the interaction between these fundamental physical building blocks appeals to that sensibility, and hope to inspire people's imagination and memory through movement and sound.
