Abstract

The research presented here aims to demonstrate the applicability of starling murmuration movements as a model for sound spatialization. Through a transduction process to be adopted at various levels, this study proposes the application and development of a model that enables dynamic control and spatial perspective based on the abstraction of murmurations and dynamic systems. For this purpose, the Max/Msp/Jitter software is used to implement the Boids model computationally, representing the behavior of murmurations, which is then applied to sound spatialization.
