Project type: Diplom

Synaesthetic perception is now evident and has a great influence on european culture history since ancient world. This research project has the objective, to simulate my syaesthesia-subtype with parameters under inclusion of recent results of synaesthesia research. A main objective of the simulation is the use of synaesthetic phaenomena as extended visual soundparameters for musical instrument software and live-electronic performances. The experimental visual musical instrument SYNALIZER which is based upon the theoretical work was realized with GUI in MaxMSP/Jitter as work-in-progress project. At Altitude 2006, the SYNALIZER 0.7.0.2alpha has been presented as sound installation. Sounds of visitors as well as environment-based feedbacks were transformed in OpenGL-based 3-D shapes. Additionally, the shapes could be modified through midi-controllers. The current version of the SYNALIZER can be downloaded under http://www.gro.de/index.php?visualization02down_en .
