Everything Vibrates – Sound and Perception
Everything we hear is based on vibration. Sound emerges when movements, frequencies, and resonances spread through the air, through materials, and through the body, becoming perceptible. In Everything Vibrates we approach these foundations of listening not only theoretically, but through concrete experiments, accessible models, and our own sonic explorations.
At the centre are concepts in which the physical properties of sound become audible, visible, and tangible. This makes it possible to experience how complex sounds can be composed from simple vibrational forms, and how closely listening, movement, and materiality are connected.
Depending on the context and format, different emphases can be set — for example on the basics of additive synthesis, on the properties of vibration and sine waves, on building simple virtual synthesizers, on combining frequencies, amplitudes, and phase relationships, on beating frequencies, or on experiments with otoacoustic emissions.
