“The nature of a peoples’ language inevitably affects the nature of it’s music – not only in obvious and superficial ways, but fundamentally”
Design Academy Eindhoven is buzzing with a mixture of languages: Turkish, Italian, Mandarin, Arabic, Portuguese, German, Korean, Dutch, French. Each of these languages holds a distinct musicality, a pattern of flows and beats. We wish to illustrate this rhythmical DNA by transforming spoken language into a beat. We did so by letting the loudest sound peaks as well as pauses of a spoken sentence be translated into a clicks and silence of a solenoid.
