The Sound & Light Project merges sound, architecture, and visual arts to create a dynamic, multi-sensory performance where sound transforms into space, form, and motion, redefining perception and reality.

DESCRIPTION

In the Sound & Light Project, disciplines such as sound, architecture and visual arts exchanges. The spatial and the visual experience go beyond the known scope of perception. While main examples of 20th and 21th centuries’ polyphonic choral music repertoire such as Arvo Part, Ivan Spassov, Sıdıka Özdil plays, the performance transforms the sound into a space, the space into a form and the form into a living structure. Therefore the audience is presented with a vibrant, multi-layered, vocal, moving and breathing performance.
                The architectural design of the crystallized cloud-like form is about the sequential passage of sound waves of various frequencies. It is derived from a pyramid, which is the simplest volume-creating archetype in architecture. The visuals that are projected on the architectural structure were based on the works of song performed by the choir. The form gains motion with the images projected on the architectural structure using the video mapping technique. This performance doesn’t just fictionalize the visualization of sound but also allows to the viewer to explore different dimensions of space and time and breaks the reality perception of the viewer.
