Soundsystem for Silence is an immersive installation inspired by the emergent patterns of nature. Using a constellation of ‘living’ sound sources, the installation sets in motion tiny fluctuations that cascade into complex shapes and movements. Aural worlds continuously emerge, evolve, disappear. Balancing between chaos and equilibria, the installation offers a new way of listening.

Myubio is the transdisciplinary sound art collective of spatial sound designer Ricky van Broekhoven, creative technologist Nikolai Gillissen and electroacoustic composer Rutger Muller. The collective asks: is nature a composer? Can music emerge spontaneously from unpredictable mechanisms? Nature’s systems are in continuous flux. How does it transform chaos into patterns and rhythms? Myubio reflects on this form of intelligence with installations that simulate emergence by fusing algorithms with soundscape ecology taxonomies.
