"LUMPUR": Acoustic Ecology Soundscapes

We wanted to create an organic soundtracks for Kamal Sabran's new short film entitled "LUMPUR" (mud). So we developed a sound bank of recorded material from earth, air, and wind. All of sound samples are then edited and composed to a fluid like, freeform and ambigous sound composition that brings the mixture of the 3 elements into the ear of listener.

Surgery Room : Ambien sound recomposed

We collect sample of sounds live from operation theater, mixed and recomposed the eerie, dark and mysterious in to sound art. Still cant forget the smells of fresh blood and burning meat.

Sound Art as Sound Therapy

We developed "Music from Outer- Inner Space" a Sound installation with interactive keyboard that can be play by audience. The art work is based on the theory of "sound entrainment" using "binaural beats" that control human brain for certain therapeutic processes. The sound specially programmed to achieve some kind of transcendental effect in several Hz.

Experimental Electronic Mechanical

Noise in Silent

Brain Damage

Fadly Sabran's work consist of living beings being turned into mechanical absurdity, with an aim to portray human as unthinking robot, his initial study employs pasted photoengraving as collage technique. The technique used is more on experimental assemblage that combination of technology and scientific research of mechanical and electronic such as video work, sound, light, kinetic movement, motion sensory and digital collage.The works designed to be interactive, participatory, dynamic and customisable in anticipation by the shape of things to come.

Sonic visual exploration

We were thinking of a visual projection from music or sound. so we conduct a simple experiment using our lo fi casio keyboard and a small tv monitor. we wanted to create a simultaneously real time effect on tv monitor while we playing our music. a cable connection from the casio out put were connected direct to video receiver on the tv make things look perfect enough.
see the different in the tv screen when higher pitch played, the line will be more thin and skinny while low octave note gave a bold line on the tv screen.this happens when the electronic signal in a cathode ray tube read sound input as a tiny electronic lines.
we think this will help us on our experimental music performance very soon.
how about that?
