Stellation

String quartet and video projection

Duration: 12 min.

Stellation is the geometrical process of extending elements of polygons on a surface. Constellations of these elements are arranged in a delicate choreography in Islamic abstraction and Javanese batik textiles, both of which inspired this work's visual patterns as well as the sonic tessellations. The string instruments in this work are retuned to the same mathematical ratios visible in the images, and the sounds and images were composed together.
