Experiments - Wairudorubi ワイルドルビ
An audiovisual composition exploring Japan's cultural contrasts through the natural rhythms of Tokyo's underground transit system. Using field recordings and video footage from a 2019 trip to Japan, this piece captures the cyclical energy patterns of urban movement - the buildup of tension as subway trains arrive, followed by moments of complete silence once they depart.
The composition mirrors natural flow patterns like the ebb and flow of water, with audio frequencies shifting to match each section's emotional arc from calm to tension. Beta and Gamma frequency binaural beats are employed during buildup sections, designed to physiologically shift brainwaves from alert states to calm relaxation. A generative visual grid responds to these frequencies, creating a virtual oscilloscope where the sonic landscape becomes both audible and visible.
