Mocean. Our Full Scale Vision
Overview

Mocean is a sculptural sound environment in the form of a forest of organ pipes. Inspired by long ocean crossings, it uses water as a musical interface, transforming wave patterns into sound through an array of 150-year-old organ pipes. As it is when at sea, the wave patterns and their rhythm give life to this work. Through the use of technology, wave shape and period transform into air pulses, shaping the tone, pitch, and rhythm of large arrays of resonant wooden organ pipes.

Evolving and expanding with each location, Mocean is at its 5th iteration. We continue to expand the project based on locations and resources with the intent one day to use 99 antique organ pipes (which we already acquired) to create a larger installation/musical instrument in which participants can actually walk and dance in the water. The use of more pipes would also increase the range of volume and expand the compositional possibilities. With each version, we continue to gauge participant response, and test the scalability and responsiveness of the hardware and software we developed.
