geometricsounding

Geometricsounding is a conceptual approach to music composition and sound design that emphasizes the use of geometric principles and structures in the creation of sonic material. It draws inspiration from mathematics, particularly geometry, to inform the organization, evolution, and relationships of sounds. This can manifest in various ways, such as employing mathematical ratios for intervals and harmonic progressions, using geometric shapes to define rhythmic patterns or sonic envelopes, or applying concepts like symmetry, fractals, or tessellations to the arrangement of musical elements.

The underlying idea is that the inherent order and beauty found in geometric forms can be translated into auditory experiences. Composers or sound designers working with geometricsounding might explore how the visual representation of a geometric form, such as a spiral or a dodecahedron, can be mapped onto sonic parameters like pitch, duration, amplitude, or timbre. The resulting music or soundscapes may exhibit a sense of precision, internal logic, and a deliberate, often complex, organization that reflects its geometric underpinnings. It's a method that seeks to imbue sound with a structured, almost architectural quality, where the relationships between sonic components are as carefully considered as the angles and dimensions of a geometric figure.
