For the press
Mistakes often lead to unexpected creative results. Reflecting on this phenomenon, the artists created an installation where chance plays a major role. This work based on general patterns in music and chemistry is a sound composition that can develop on the basis of chemical synthesis.
The processes combined by the project are not autonomous: the Briggs-Rauscher self-oscillatory reaction, which causes a change in the colour of chemical solutions, serves as the basis of the generative musical process. Special sensors monitor the ambient temperature, illumination, cycle time, ion concentration and colour fluctuations from dark blue to transparent and gold. The data obtained, in turn, are converted into the characteristics of a sound wave, turning the parameters of the chemical reaction into the score of a minimalist composition. Physical and chemical processes become fully-fledged co-authors of the work.
