Metre to metre: architecture and composition | Ed Carter | TEDxManchester

Ed Carter devises and creates musical compositions and interdisciplinary projects that are context-specific, with a focus on process. He takes patterns, associations, and chronology, and uses these to form the structures of new site-specific work. His projects combine elements of music, architecture and visual art. In his TEDx talk, he will look at different approaches for bringing these different artforms together, and how he has applied these ideas in his own work.

Ed Carter devises and creates musical compositions and interdisciplinary projects that are context-specific, with a focus on process. He takes patterns, associations, and chronology, and uses these to form the structures of new site-specific work. Barographic, his current project at The Lowry, turns the venue’s architectural form into a 3D music sequencer, and creates melodies from atmospheric pressure readings taken in the gallery space. Ed’s talk will look at the relationship between architecture and music.

Brilliant work! Amazing innovative thinking, well done.

I wish they could've put a "limiter" in postproduction for the music part. It sounds awfully distorted on my speakers, not to mention it also causes damage and hearing injure.

Johann van der Goethe??!!! When quoting from one of our finest ever, do you think you might be able to get his name right?! That’s not even close. It’s Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, as anybody who has read any of his work would know.
