rechord
| Stefan Cartwright, sound designer, Rachel Collinson, software artist and Louise Carrier, visual designer. Rechord use digital technology to enable self expression through the process of playful exploration and discovery. Our creative play software includes audiovisual environments, composition instruments and learning tools. At present much of our work is born through playing with algorithms derived from mathematical sequences, harmonic intervals, patterns that appear to relate to forms in nature. By attributing sonic and visual objects with specific interactive behaviours and then observing the feedback new ideas evolve organically. These are developed through a process of research, play, improvisation, serendipity and user testing. From which emerges a simple grammar with increasingly complex and pleasing outcomes. | artist artist homepage |
