audiovisual instrument for understanding urban rhythmic patterns:case study / public transportation system [U-bahn and S-bahn] Berlin.
Universidad Central de Venezuela
Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo
Tutores: Prof. Miguel Acosta, Prof. Eduardo Kairuz
MAX/MSP Programming: Julián Higuerey.
This first approach represents 24 hours of Berlin's U-Bahn U1, U2 and U3 compressed to 3 minutes 21 seconds. The day is subdivided in 7 parts, corresponding to urban natural rhythms (1h.-5h. / 5h.-8h. / 8h.-12h. / 12h.-14h. / 14h.-18h. / 18h.-22h. / 22h.-1h.) For each station a tone is assigned, triggered when the train arrives. The height of the tone depends on the age of the station (older stations sound lower than recent stations). Through the use of tonal regions each part of the day is assigned with different tonal centers, creating modulation in the pattern. Listening the composition with headphones allows the recognition of the train direction, thus approximating to a spatial cognition.
