>SOUND GENERATION
Each module has its own sound attributes. Different concepts are used to connect the sound to the image, whereby an explicit and coherent coupling of these two levels was particularly important to us.
Together tone and image are to suggest a being, a person, an entity. Changes in the image are intended to have a causal effect on the tone and vice versa. Despite all incalculabilities and apparent arbitrariness, which a complex character such as Trickstr can evoke, the image-tone relationship remains constantly explicit and stably traceable.
A model is the direct illustration of each light pixel achieved through a tone generator – altogether 320 in number. The brightness of the pixel steers the amplitude of the generator and the X-Y position of the pixel steers the pitch.
Often basic mathematical waveforms are employed, such as sine, triangle or rectangle, like those which are found in simple digital and analogue sound generators.
