Prog. notes: This audiovisual work attempts animating the images of moonbow which continuously vary with the balance of its pale colors and rays. Both of the sound and visual parts mainly consist of the elements of multi-layered gradual transformation, and most of the motion graphics used in this work were generated by various manipulations of 3D particle systems. As for the sound part, the main sound materials were recordings of bowed string instruments. For delicate sonic representations, a variety of beating
sounds was derived from the original sources using partial tracking technique, and some of them were transformed into various types of pulse-like sounds. These materials were parallelly deployed as multiple layers which formed drones. This work was revised as an audiovisual piece by adding a visual part on “Whitebow”, which was premiered in March 2019 at Contemporary Computer Music Concert 2019 in Tokyo.
