SOUNDER
The SOUNDER project explores the theme of a contemporary game / a toy / a tool based on sound experimentation and sound handling. It covers the standard production of gaming and the toy industry which recycles the prevailing clichés, both formal and sonic. It suggests a new model of a contemporary toy or an instrument working with sound, in opposition to conventional tools and procedures. It opens up questions about the need for more open-minded education base on experimenting with sounds. It questions the need of audio alternatives to the common musical instruments that require specific knowledge or skills and are therefore only available to a limited extent. SOUNDER is a complex sound toy. It connects the current technologies that influence the resulting aesthetics of sounds with classical materials and procedures. It combines haptics, visuality and spatial perception. It uses the form of a variable- kit which is based on sequential play and has the ambition to be an alternative to all screen or display based devices.
