THE ARCHISONICS PROJECT
ArchiSonics – quite simply a conflation of two words, Architecture, and Sonics, a dynamic, active space where two forms unite, intersect, and interact, a dualism which appears to float in and around each others’ gestural patterns. Buildings surround us, creating and unfolding a processional sonic scenario where sounds generate form, and forms generate sounds.
Despite the fact that architecture and music/sound have differing phenomenal presences, the underlying organisation of their independent formal structures are similar. The purpose of these investigations is to creatively dissect and dissolve the boundaries between the two disciplines, and through experimentation, reveal that there exists between them a consistent and organic union.
The ArchiSonics project has been assembled, not as a definitive and exhaustive study of the dynamics and erosion of two disciplines, rather it has been constructed as an access point to stimulate debate and discussion of the fundamental issues, and perhaps involve other investigators in the task of extending this project as a vital and interactive creative process.
