| Intuitive Ocusonics: Eye Tracking Musical Instrument Interfaces | |
"In
Retina Burn, soundwaves generated by the sun are manipulated by
movements of the performer's eye, thereby allowing the listener
to audibly 'view' the sun without the usual risk of damaged vision.
The composition's low hums and fluttering sine waves combine with
percussive blinks and squints to gradually move through a series
of sonic dilations; a feast for the ears prepared by the eye." |
