POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Today is the release of Await / Attend, a sound installation made by me and @etsuko.fm for Hypogeum exhibition at @platte.berlin for @berlinartweek , curated by @thomias.r 𓇬

It’s a program that plays music randomly from two banks of sounds (that i composed), it adds effects, reverb & delay & cutoff, decides on pitch and length playback, to create infinite unpredictable variations.

The idea is that you might hear something that you like, wait for it to come back, but it will never come back the same, so you can only attend to what there is.

I’m so proud of this work, it’s an idea i had five years ago when living in amsterdam, and discussing with @enaramillan
I got introduced to @etsuko.fm and when I told him about my idea, he said it should be doable. Half a day later, the program was running and working perfectly. He is truly a genius.

We decided to turn it into a website available for all, it works on desktop and mobile, even when locking the screen!

thank you @thomias.r for the trust and opportunity to present a first sound piece

have a listen, attend, be patient 𓇬

Await / Attend, my first sound installation made with @etsuko.fm will be presented @platte.berlin for @berlinartweek alongside many great artists, an exhibition curated by @thomias.r
Sept 9-13

Await / Attend is a sound installation created by sound artist Delawhere (Maxime Rogron) and tech-artist etsuko.fm (Ruben Cronie).

The installation is a computer program that generates evolving soundscapes by layering various melodic and non melodic sounds randomly selected from a personal library of over 50 recordings.

Each scene may last only a few seconds or unfold over several minutes. Once started, the program runs continuously on a perpetual loop, with the algorithm determining the composition, timing and duration of each scene.

The near infinite number of possible permutations has the effect of producing fleeting fragments of entirely new music, most of which will never be heard in exactly the same form again. You may choose to wait for a familiar passage to reappear, or simply attend to the one that exists only now.

This script is really cool, I'm excited to keep exploring it. #Norns #monomenorns #arturiaminifreak #experimentalmusic #sounddesign

Did you know that plants can sense human intentions? 🌿 In the 1960s, Cleve Backster's groundbreaking experiments revealed that plants connected to a polygraph would react when he merely thought about harming them—an unseen connection between the plant realm and human consciousness.

Inspired by this concept, Ripples collaborated with artist Sebastian Smink from Studio Smink to create an interactive sound sculpture for Ripples 3. This installation explored the invisible threads between humans and nature, allowing the audience to engage with the piece during the event’s walk-in.

As visitors waved their hand near the plant’s aura, plant-generated melodies wove naturally into the venue's sonic landscape, creating unexpected moments of harmony between nature and performance.

The installation featured a sculpture by Ward Strootman, integrated with immersive technology under Smink's creative direction. Sound design by Delaware and programming by Ruben Cronie and Pieter van Boven brought it to life — creating a magical experience that made connection between the audience and plants possible.

This collaboration offered a space for reflection, a tangible homage to Backster’s theories captured in the book The Secret Life of Plants. It is a reminder of the symbiotic relationship we share with all living things.

A unique moment, a meaningful experience. November 17th became a ripple in time, carrying love, sound, and connection into something greater than us all.

As I look back through my camera roll, I felt like sharing some moments to relive the power of chapter three.

Ripples is a testament to what happens when we come together with intention.

If you want to follow the process, the expression, the making, and the magic of what’s to come, follow @ripples________. We’re already dreaming and creating for Ripples 4, and I can’t wait to see where this story takes us next. 🌀🍃

During Ripples 3, we’re opening a window into the unseen connection with the plant world. 🌿🔊

Imagine stepping into a space where plants aren’t just part of the decor—they sense you, pick up on your energy, and respond.

With technology that translates their energetic wavelengths into sound, you’ll hear what the plants have to say during the Ripples experience.

We’ve been experimenting to bring these invisible connections to life, showing a world where every breath and thought is part of a larger, unseen dialogue.

November 17. Ticket link in bio.
