Positioned four meters apart, the speaker walls form a corridor through which visitors are invited to walk, linger, and listen. Rather than offering a fixed narrative, the installation unfolds as an exploratory field of microvariations and distributed intensities. Visitors shape their own embodied listening experience by moving…

EMMA in full view. The hexagonal sound sculpture is mounted on a tripod and configured for multi-participant interaction in physical space. Each of the six sides functions as an interactive musical voice, allowing the sonic texture to grow in complexity as more participants engage with the system.

 Embodied Musical Mediation Apparatus EMMA is an interactive sonic interface for embodied and social interaction. Developed as a hexagonal sound sculpture, the project invites multiple participants to engage with sound through bodily movement, spatial proximity, and shared attention. Each side of the sculpture is equipped with a distance sensor that responds to the presence and motion of a participant, shaping musical behavior in real time through an embedded synthesis system. While EMMA can be engaged by a single participant, it is fundamentally designed for multi-participant interaction: as more people enter the system, more voices, zones, and pattern combinations become available, allowing the music to…
