The Finnish Aviation Museum organized Myyttinen Lento (Mythical Flight), an exhibition exploring flight-related myths and legends designed to spark the imagination of children and adults alike. A highlight was a magic carpet visitors could ride.
I collaborated with Marko Ahokangas from the Theatre Academy of Finland’s Lighting and Sound Design department – he created the sounds, while I programmed the sound player. Using Plogue Bidule, we crafted a continuously evolving, never-repeating eight-channel soundscape that filled the exhibition space.
Spatial audio was managed via four independent eight-channel linear output selectors, modulated by sine wave oscillators, dividing sounds into fast and slow categories controlled by separate sub-programs.
A synthesized wind-like instrument formed a musical layer, dynamically tuning its pitch (via FFT) to frequencies extracted from other sounds – e.g., matching airplane sounds to produce harmonious tones.
Presented here is a two-channel sample of the final soundscape.
