Local artist and composer Craig Gell presents an audio sensory wave machine, bathing the listener in the sounds and sensation of the sea. Experience real-time sea wave data as it's streamed from an observation buoy floating offshore at Folkestone Harbour, translated into a constantly evolving electronic soundscape of undulating drones and polyrhythms.
Immerse yourself as measurements such as wave height, wave period, wave direction and sea temperature are used to control different parameters of electronically generated sound - volume, pitch, duration, timbre, and position within the stereo field.
