Relativity

In the VR production Relativity by Leon Eckard the public can hear hip-hop beats against shifting polyrhythms. This also shifts the sense of the downbeat as well as the type of meter. At the visual level users find themselves in abstract spaces with geometric figures. These are linked to the individual elements of the music and shift accordingly with the result that the sense of space also changes. 

Relativity by Leon Eckard was an exam project in the Visual Music major at the Institute of Music and Media (IMM) of the Robert Schumann School of Music and Media Düsseldorf. Prof. Dr. Heike Sperling and Marcus Schmickler supervised the project.
