The basic idea of Unnamed Soundsculpture by Berlin based generative design studio Onformative is creating a moving sound sculpture from the recorded motion data of a real person.

Onformative asked Laura Keil, a Berlin based dancer to interpret a musical piece – Kreukeltape of Machinefabriek  – as closely as possible with the movement of her own body. She was recorded by three depth cameras, in which the intersection of the images was later put together to a three-dimensional volume. The dancer moves to a noise field which can create new versions of the video, each offering a different composition of the recorded performance.

Found through the Feminatronic blog: some articles, videos etc. on  Louis and Bebe Barron, two American electronic music composers  who made the score for the classic sci-fi movie Forbidden Planet in the 1950’s:

The Barrons didn’t get the credits as music composers of the score of this classic movie, however. This article on the NPR Music website from 2005 explains why and how they became “forgotten pioneers” of electronic music. But all was not lost: Louis and Bebe Barron continued to compose electronic music up until the turn of the century and thus were not completely forgotten. They now even have their own Wikipedia article, which saves their work for future generations…

Ryoichi Kurokawa is an Japanese artist who lives in Germany (Berlin). His works take on multiple forms such as concert piece, screening works, recordings and installation. These works are shown at international festivals and museums including Tate Modern [UK], Venice Biennale [IT], ARS Electronica [AT], Transmediale [DE], Mutek [CA] and Sonar [ES].

Ground – a work from 2011-  appears like a still image within the animated sequence, as the transitions from one motion to the next are slurred and extended. The fragmented images and sounds spark tension and underscore that this work was inspired by the battle grounds of the Middle East during war time. Even if such terrain is not scenic, it’s still a natural setting upset by violence.
