Numbercult – Triangulation Music

Eve – Numbercult

Numbercult has created a series of visual music pieces that explore the use of Voronoi tessellation, and intersecting nodal networks using VVVV. The works are marked by a refined use of colour, and a cross-wiring of sound and video resulting in narratives of pure geometric abstraction.

In ‘Eve’ crisp microscopic sounds augment the movement of a central polygon who appears to be agitated, and simultaneously courted, by a group of nodal circles each of which exert attractive forces over one another through mutual proximity. The delicate use of natural colours, shading and scaling implies the formation of crystals, or the hermetic dynamics of a reactive geo-chemical system in process.

‘Collision Music’ uses the detection of particle collisions within a shifting Voronoi triangulation­ mesh to actuate percussive sounds. Each cycle of sound generation is preceded by the motion of an errant particle who acts as a destabiliser to the system – a Glass Bead Game with running commentary from outlandish Delaunay entites.

‘Connected’ uses the multi-directionality flow of data to create what Numbercult describes as a ‘graphical/musical sequencer system with a three way flow of information between graphics, sound and external triggers’.
