Sonotrope
Sonotrope is a spatial music notation system for sound artist enabling one to capture movement as tracks of music in space, resulting in an interactive sculpture or crystallised 3D music composition as a playable multi track spatial sound score constellation.
It is a VR installation, currently a work in progress and funded by the Creative Industries Fund NL, the Mondriaan Foundation, the lectureship of the Netherlands Film Academy and supported by the VRAcademy Amsterdam and produced by the Tropism Art & Science Foundation.
It is a research and development trajectory of Robin Noorda and Alfred Marseille of the Tropism Art & Science Foundation together with Immersive Media lecturer at the Netherlands Film Academy Jilt van Moorst.
The Sonotrope will be used in the theatre performance Synesthesis with choreographer Heidi Vierthaler and will be presented in 2019.

September 2017 was the kick off the VRAcademy in Amsterdam at the NFF (Netherlands Film Festival) and Sonotrope work in progress was part of the VRA presentation at the NFF as a typical VR showcase.
