I’m doing sound art now because I did Ronald Jenkees during the sound art week
“Journey into Hyperland” is a sound art experience that brings a crucial element of the musician’s world- the crazy acid trip- directly to your domestic screen. It’s parametrically generated which means it draws upon variables such as the user’s location and time of day. If you let it use your mic it can generate more stuff, which is kind of interesting although I didn’t see any tangible reaction to my sounds. In any case, the title does not lie as this work is hype to the max. There was also an elephant, so clearly the author’s animal selection abilities are as powerful as his programming skills. It’s like browsing around google earth when you’re bored except instead of the earth it’s a psychedelic EDM swamp with elephants and flying submarines.
