Momentum is an interactive sound and image installation in which body movement drives evolving particle systems, music, and sound design. Visitors shape changing audiovisual states through movement inside the space.

OUR ROLE Music Composition, Sound Design, Audio Framework Programming // VISUALS SCHNELLE BUNTE BILDER // YEAR 2015

Momentum is an interactive sound and image installation we developed together with Schnelle Bunte Bilder. The work combines reactive visuals, particle systems, and sound into a continuously changing audiovisual environment shaped through body movement.

Throughout the installation, the visitor’s digital avatar transforms into a fluid particle-based entity inside an evolving visual system. As movement changes the visual environment, different musical compositions and sound layers emerge alongside it, creating shifting audiovisual states over time.

Sound functions as a responsive layer connected to movement and transformation within the installation. Musical structures and sound design evolve together with the changing particle worlds, linking physical movement to sonic and visual change inside the space.

We were responsible for the music composition, sound design, and audio framework programming. Momentum premiered at CES Las Vegas 2015 and was later presented at CTM Berlin and Telekom Electronic Beats.

PROJECT SCOPE
  • Role Of Sound
    Music and sound design respond to movement and follow the transformation of the visitor’s digital avatar and surrounding particle environments.
  • Mode Of Encounter
    Visitors move through the installation physically, influencing audiovisual changes in real time through their body movement.
  • Sound Logic
    Different musical scores unfold alongside continuously changing visual states and particle transformations within a fixed narrative structure.
  • Source Material
    The audiovisual behavior is driven by body movement captured inside the installation space and translated into reactive sound and image compositions.
  • Production Role
    We developed the music composition, sound design, and audio framework programming in collaboration with schnellebuntebilder.
  • Sound System
    The project uses a reactive audiovisual setup in which sound and visuals evolve together through visitor movement.

The installation premiered at CES Las Vegas 2015 and was later shown at CTM Berlin and Telekom Electronic Beats.
