2015 | indeterminate | electronics for interactive swing installation

The WannaPlayground is a collection of sixteen swings created by duo Boiten&Thunissen. Each swing has a speaker over it which produces sound which varies the higher or lower people swing. In spring 2015, César Lüttger, Amarante Nat, Tom Schipper, Mathilde Wantenaar and I were attached to the project for its stint at Oerol Festival 2015, on Terschelling. spaces_ is my contribution.

spaces_ takes some time & effort to materialize, but once you go for it you’ll be transported : in the lower levels it starts off with microtonal soundscapes and nervous beats, gradually transforming into 5- & 4-on-the-floor madness before being catapulted into a dreamy, pixelated soundscape. This demo plays the process linearly.
