I looked into the FORMS String Quartet. As someone who is very much inspired by and interested in music, I’ve always looked for ways to combine visual art with music, beyond just the performative nature of music. Their website states that they make use of a spectral synthesis algorithm; to my understanding, the algorithm models speech, music, and other sounds by combining multiple sine wave harmonics. I believe Playmodes and the FORMS String Quartet create a perfect fusion between music and visual art, as well as digital and acoustic media, and in a way, it reminds me of the condition synesthesia, in which affected individuals associate sounds, visuals, and other input with colours.
