]]> The Sounds of the World is a tl audio-visual installation by Francesc Martí built on a network of Raspberry Pi computers and created from a series of Andrei Tarkovsky film clips.

The installation explores the concept of audio-visual sampling, in which real-world images and sounds – captured and digitized – are cut, mixed, manipulated, and reassembled in order to generate new audio-visual materials.

In particular, Francesc has been experimenting with how granular sound synthesis techniques and pseudorandom number generator algorithms – where a computer program produces seemingly random numbers – can be used for generating audio-visual creative works.

The name is taken from this quote by Andrei Tarkovsky, who wrote in ‘Sculpting in Time’: “I feel that the sounds of this world are so beautiful in themselves that if only we could learn to listen to them properly, cinema would have no need of music at all.”

Part of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts project “Media Quarantine”

 

Soap is one of the quarantine heroes. It acts as an image. In this video research, as in many others, I swap image with sound, that turns out to be more powerful than image. Wind is a very fitting metaphor for the human mind: it is invisible, yet its actions are obvious. Their combination — a new substance — a filter, protection, soap, mask shielding from information flow. This is a very focused choice of one’s own sound preferences, interests, emotions. This choice is unlimited even in isolation. It is inside us, so we can re-sound everything, any reality. We ourselves sound and vibrate through our bodies on a certain frequency. Research has proven, that high positive frequencies enhance body defense, and perhaps get rid of some problems, and perhaps add some high frequencies to our collective background noise.

Soap sounds like wind.

A video-investigation of trivial objects and substances transformations into abstractions and the fact that sound can completely change the image. Hypothetically, sound is stronger than image. Observation of image/sound contrasts: shadow of water on transparencies/Kodo drums; “Rotation” of grass seen from a car window/experimental jazz; flickering images/rain drops sound; glare of flowing water/recitation of Japanese poetry; etc.
