Close Your Eyes to Experience the Sound of a Digital Swamp

The Creators Project: A system of sound modules and flashlights replicates the natural chorus of insects, amphibians, birds and other swamp creatures in Belgrade-based artist Bojana Petkovic's Swamp Orchestra. Petkovic creates a “sound ecosystem” in which the exhibition’s visitors can explore “the realm of natural and artificial”—except, interactively, with 16 light sensitive sound modules, each reacting to a flashlight’s quantity of light.

The way in which sound design is heading in today's world is extremely interesting. With new studies into the world of sound like binaural audio, as seen in this video, we can create a more authentic, realistic, and accurate recording of the sound. Viewers, or should I say listeners, can hear the object(s) as they sound in real life--as if the object is right in front/left/right/behind them.

Although this isn't as useful in live theater because the audience is already listening to something that's right in front of them but it can be used to create revolutionary recordings of musicals so viewers can experience the sound just how it sounds in theater at the comfort of their own homes.
