Sonotrope
Sonotrope is a VR installation, currently a work in progress and funded by the Creative Industries Fund NL, the Mondriaan Foundation and the lectureship of the Netherlands Film Academy.
It is a spatial music notation system for composers enabling one to capture movement as tracks of music in space, resulting in an interactive sculpture or crystallised 3D music composition. The recorded tracks are playable as a kind of multi track sound score constellation.
It is a research and development trajectory of Robin Noorda at the Netherlands Film Academy together with Immersive Media lecturer Jilt van Moorst and sound artist Alfred Marseille. It is also part of the new VRAcademy Amsterdam.
Its theatre performance enabling prototype will be presented end 2018.

Above: Jilt van Moorst demonstrating the very first rudimentary version of the Sonotrope VR music sculpting tool. He draws a color-tone related soundtrack in the air with his right tilt brush and does a scratchy playback with his left tilt brush.
Below: composer Alfred Marseille and choreographer Susanne Ohmann try the first multi instrument rudimentary prototype of Sonotrope. The constellation looks like floating meatballs and sounds like a pinball machine. It is a first user test proving only the principle, so please do not pay any attention to the look and sounds, as they are not designed and composed yet.
