The ambient piece served as the musical introduction to a discussion titled My Body and I – Synchronic Image, Vision and Sound, featuring photographer Victoria Schultz, psychoanalyst Heikki Majava, and myself as sound explorer. Using two light-dependent resistors housed in handheld enclosures, I controlled the pitches by moving through light and shadow within the Laterna Magica gallery, where Victoria’s photos were exhibited.
The light-responsive audio device, connected to a laptop running modular sound software, transformed oscillator pitches into synthesizer control messages, blending textured and solo sounds to bridge visual and auditory media in the performance.
