SoLu
Porto, London and Milan, 2010

Demonstration of the theory 'Audible and Visible Spectrums - a proposal of correspondence'.
SoLu was designed to demonstrate André Rangel's theory of correspondence between sound and light at the 'EVA Conference - Electronic Visualisation and the Arts' which took place at the BCS - British Computer Society, London 2010. The proposed theory of correspondence can be accessed here. SoLu is a smaller and simplified version of the previous Colmus produced early in 2009. SoLu gives its users the control over a audiovisual algorithmic composition generated in real-time. This hyperinstrument was designed and produced at 3kta studios. Visual documentation was produced at 'Sala do Coro' from Portuguese Catholic University - UCP.
