Conducted rhapsody
sound installation
turntables, four channel sound, custom electronics, programming
The idea of the conducted orchestra is realize a four channel installation with a conductor turntable driving four other turntable playing Hungarian Rhapsodies by Liszt where an already written score is re-compose an absolutely new piece in a new form, never played before, only by the sound of the vinyls. The turntables are driven by physical features such as speed control, relays, and volume control, using custom electronics and processing.
In practice the sound of the master turntable get filtered into frequencies which dynamic responses were measured to scale and convert data to MIDI and connect it to the different parameters of synthesizers (such as filters, envelopes, sequencers, LFO-s, etc.), therefore the sounds will be edited by the dynamics of the master turntable. I call the master turntable as conductor which is represent the score.
The first version of this work is a performance which is based on a master (conductor) turntable driving live electronics. The master score is richly variated in tempo and tonality: the music piece by Liszt on the turntable is the conductor and this controlling other instruments such as synthesizers, as well as a speed controlled turntable (playing an other Rhapsody by Liszt), just like the conductor does it with an orchestra.
The system is applied both for electronics and classical pieces , so called Hybrids.

BA 3D
The subject and the location of this video is the hydroelectric power station in Gabcikovo, where we recorded a music piece with 3D video technique and 5.1 channel sound system.
The sound material was recorded live with six microphones in the abandoned warehouse in Galanta. The microphones were organized in a hexagonal formation, facing outwards, modeled the sound of the space. During the video presentation the speakers were placed the same way as the microphones. This sound experience is synchronized with the video played in 3D technique and which contains field recordings from the different locations.In the live performance the field recordings provided the raw material, which were expanded with the sound of our musical instruments. This was set into the six-channel panorama system, which enables the movement of the sound in the space together with the 3D video. The result will be a complex sonic experience for the viewer, where every musical experiment goes through a specific filter.

This work refers to the sinus bipolar waveform. The motors behind the plates are going through each plate, one after the other, in this way it makes the movement of the waveform visible. This concept also contains soundwork, which is build up from nine different sinwave composition, it refers to the number of the plates.
ADAC
interactive sound installation (2009)
My final work on the Hungarian University of Fine Arts is a multi-channel interactive sound installation, where the participants are driving the sound with their body. It is about interference between sound and pictures, locations and environment.
I printed two panels; the size of each is ten square meters, where I visualized the sounds I have used. The sensors and the speakers were placed on the backside of the panels and the two panels are facing each other. If you enter this space, naturally the shadow of your body will appear somewhere on the panel. The sensors will send a signal to play that sound, which is connected to the part of the picture you are overshadowing with your body. In this way you can listen to the image, which you are standing in front. If more than one person is using the space, for example on the other side, the sensors are sending signals to the opposite speaker, where the other visitors take place, that will result interference. The system is working with a notebook, one twelve output sound card, Arduino, two 5.1 and one stereo amplifier, and twelve wide-range speakers.
