Freesound

Transsonic (Viola Yip and Nicola L. Hein) is a Berlin-based transmedia duo. Since 2018, they have been joining forces to develop new works!

Array Space

Transsonic, Viola Yip and Nicola L. Hein, is an experimental transmedia duo that creates immersive site-specific performances and installations bridging the vibrations of light and sound. Trained as musicians, both look into the ontology of sound and how musical experience can be transformed beyond its common material—sound. For their artistic research project Transsonic, they explore light as an expanded musical material. They research and create performances, improvising between lights and sounds as equally important but dialectical musical materials.In "Fluid Ontologies", Transsonic continues to expand their intermedial artistic practice in performances. This project focuses on the use of laser feedback instruments, using lasers as sound sources and solar panel as microphones, guitar and electronics, as well as machine learning based latent timbre spaces. With the incorporation of 4-channel spatialization, Transsonic extends the dimensions in their artistic work and develop a new kind of electronic instrument by using solar panel microphones and laser sound sources, creating a unique audiovisual experience. In particular, the aim is to explore and define new concepts of the instrumentality of light as the origin of sound that integrates the visual into a sonic experience, which also highlights the performative relationships between the performing bodies and archiecture of the space.Since the creation of this new project in Sept 2024, this project has been presented in Oxford University (UK), New Musical Interface and Expression (NIME) conference in Utretch (NL), Tanzhalle Wissenburg Berlin (DE), Lokal Harmonie Duisburg (DE), and NEXT festival in Bratislava (SK), which is supported by Re-Imagine Europe, a large-scale multi-year grant from European Union.PerformerTranssonic (Viola Yip + Nicola Hein)Jason DoellVenue GuideFor the ease of all attendees, we’re pleased to provide a <a href="https://www.arraymusic.ca/space-rental/the-array-space/" title="https://www.arraymusic.ca/space-rental/the-array-space/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Venue Guide </a>for Arrayspace.Questions &amp; Accessibility RequestsFreesound is committed to meeting the needs of our audience to the best of our abilities.
