Artist: Ken Ueno Author: Marco Morales Villalobos Editors: muac-unam Editorial Coordination: Ekaterina Alvarez Romero Language: Spanish and english First edition, 2013 Extension: 24 pages Format: 8.66 in x 6.3 in MSRP: $5.60 USD ISBN: 978-607-02-4542-8 Target: University community, academics and interested public in contemporary art. Inspired by a set of natural experiences, the artist has completed a sound installation that investigates the boundaries between natural phenomena and granular synthesis, as well as between complex natural sound phenomena and vocal phonemes. He programmed some operations and routines in the computer program Max/MSP, which, for the duration of the installation, will unfold a sound texture in variable forms subject to continuous evolution. These operations include ambisonic movements from an agglomeration of sounds founded in sets of algorithms that take their inspiration from the forms and movements characteristic of flocks of birds in flight.
