interactive live electronics for light.void~, flashlights and Max/MSP

Hypothetical particles in physics refer to particles that have not yet been observed and proven to exist. However, these particles are necessary for maintaining consistency within a given physical theory. In this composition, I explore this phenomenon by examining the interaction between particles of light and sound. The amplitudes of the lights trigger changes in the music, revealing connections between the natural and synthetic realms of sound.

To facilitate this exploration, I created a digital photo-controller modeled after the light.void~ designed by Felipe Tovar-Henao, who is a current Postdoctoral Fellow in Music Composition at University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music. His iteration of light.void~ was acknowledged as an 'inferred replica' of Leafcutter John's light thing.

I dedicate this piece to Felipe Tovar-Henao, who is not only a good friend but also an important mentor and a significant source of inspiration that motivated me to pursue music composition.
