Metroscan

Metroscan is a futuristic audiovisual work dealing with the subject of the megapolis, its informational speed, multipolarity and other post-urbanist vectors. The title “Metroscan” and the idea behind it are based on the multifaceted origin of the word “metro” (in Ancient Greek metron stands for measure). It is connected to metropolis, concepts of measuring, movement and transportation. All of those concepts are “scanned” into highly concentrated sounds and visuals - a certain compressed informational avalanche of a large city, which through the means of digital technologies is melted into a purified, fluctuating aesthetic experience. The music of this piece uses a very broad scale of frequencies and often balances between experimental and pulsating electronic music. The visuals are based on the conversion of the data of current sound into an image that is restored in real time. It is characteristic of very fast change of elements, lush images and unpredictability.
