The Glides are a growing set of small interactive sound environments. Each one offers a focused way of engaging with sound through gradual change rather than events, scores, or outcomes. They are intended for quiet exploration, repetition, and lingering attention, not for performance or display.
Sound Garden
A spatial sound environment in which instrumental sound-objects can be gently moved, tilted, and glided. Pitch and resonance shift through physical interaction rather than symbolic control, allowing multiple sounds to coexist and drift together. The garden encourages playful exploration without competition, targets, or outcomes.
Cabinet Drift
An interactive sound field built from domestic objects and everyday resonances. Moving slowly across the surface brings different sounds into focus, allowing them to merge, blur, and recede. There is no target state or correct gesture — only drift, pause, and return.
Free Music Ribbon
A drawn line becomes a pathway for two overlapping voices that sweep across it in time. Bells emerge, overlap, and decay naturally, without being forced into rhythms or patterns. The ribbon can be reshaped at any moment, inviting sustained attention rather than decisive control.
Glide Dial
A single control glides continuously between multiple looping sound sources. Rather than switching or triggering events, the dial produces gradual crossfades that emphasise listening through change rather than action. Calm and wander modes allow the sound either to respond directly to touch or to move by itself.
