Transient fusion
Dimitris Batsis & Aris Panagiotidis
The work is comprised of three soundscapes; ambient environments which are created in order to appear in random succession throughout the composition. The audio blend and the soundscape taxonomy is dependent upon a mechanism which makes random choices, which in their turn trigger audio parameters (such as the attack and volume of a soundscape), through Markovian chain distribution. The transients of the soundscapes start getting disrupted through the mix between one soundscape and another, unraveling their own narrative levels of fantasy

His output involves sound installations, performance and video art through audiovisual applications and coding. He creates sound works through studio practices that are preliminarily based on the mutual relationship between sound and image, in audiovisual perception. He holds a PhD in Biomusic (the transformation of biological signals into sound art through research in new mediums) from the Department of Fine Arts and Art Sciences at the University of Ioannina and an MA in Contemporary Arts and Music at Oxford Brookes University.
EASTN-DC, European Art-Science-Technology Network for Digital Creativity, is a network dedicated to the time-based digital arts: musical arts, visual arts, performing and interactive arts. It is gathering 16 partners in 13 different countries from Europe to the Americas. They will host and exchange about 70 creators in the frame of a 16 international events tour spread over 4 years. These privileged moments, in direct contact with the audience, will frame a new and systemic approach, binding the Knowing “Disseminate”, the Learning “Inseminate”, the Making “Collect”, a digital creativity factory leading to a creative citizen.
