Matti Luhtala

I am an MA student of Sound in New Media study program at the University of Art and Design Helsinki, Media Lab.

My background is in sound, concept and interaction design and electronics prototyping as well as composition, live music and dj performance.

My personal ambitions lie in understanding conceptual challenges in audiovisual culture in virtual and physical venues. I also find interesting experimenting possibilities of interactive and reactive media content (such as animations, games, generative music and sound effects, film and video) and tangible 3D interaction audiovisual tools.

Music of the Spheres
Music of the Spheres allows multiple users of all ages to play and interact simultaneously. The interactive environment consists of a tabletop projection screen and external speakers that present dynamic multimedia when producing music and sounds. Users can interact with the system using different geometric shaped blocks as tangible interfaces.

The metaphor for the interaction in Music of the Spheres is closely related to the act of gardening and growing flowers. Using the tangible objects users can create kaleidoscopic geometric shaped flowers and explore poly-rhythmic sound patterns with different musical scales. The virtual garden also consists of groups of monsters. The monsters are constantly trying to eat the flowers and steal their sounds. While playing with Music of the Spheres the users aim is to take care for and nourish the garden in order for the plants and the music to grow.

The Music of the Spheres physical installation construction is developed together with Daniel Vester from Industrial design department. Anna Salmi is providing visual style for the installation content. The final outcome of the Music of The Spheres will be situated in the Kindergarten Museum in Helsinki.
