Zoophony VR Launch

Zoophony VR was art project I worked on for a few months at The Indian Sonic Research Organisation. The final vr experienced was launched on 19th Dec at Max Mueller Bhavan.

This is what it looks like..

An early experiment used the sound files to generate fcurve data that would deform the mesh.
This is what that looked like

However this did not translate to VR and had to be abandoned due to technical limitations, of the webxr and oculus quest platforms, where we wanted to publish Zoophony.

This was part of Soundchains, which is a virtual sound exchange program between Indian and German artists. The first edition of Soundchains features my collaboration with Berlin-based composer, Sergey Khismatov. We focused on spatial audio and virtual reality. I used one of Sergey's compositions to explore surround sound and virtual reality, and experiment with new compositional and story telling narratives.

I also had the pleasure of working with a great team on this. It included musicians, artists and students.
