Ninth Node - A multi user interactive surround Sound environment.

The Ninth Node Project is an audio generating environment that allows you to interact with textures and placements through bodily movements. Its unique multi-panning software sends sound through speakers which circle the room and allow the listener to perceive sound traveling in a 360-degree motion. Synced with corresponding light dimmers, infrared camera sensors will read body movements and harmo

nize with a database of original audio recordings. A custom designed Max MSP software sends the subject’s X, Y, Z coordinates to selected channels, giving the audience a well-rounded panning experience. Whether it's in an indoor room or an outdoor covered dome structure, participants will become hyper-aware of their movements when linked to the soundscapes. This interactive environment will work in real-time, delivering an incredibly real and powerful experience to the users and audiences. So far in this development we can connect up to twelve people simultaneously. A beautiful work in progress for the ultimate audio experience.
