Andreas Rau's Symphony for n Metronomes is a groundbreaking decentralized performance that utilizes the Ethereum blockchain for synchronization through UTC time. Drawing inspiration from Ligeti's Poème Symphonique and Ichiyanagi's Music for Electric Metronome, this work features incremental additions of metronomes with each minted iteration. The resulting performance is a fluid mix of evolving rhythms and visual patterns as pendulums move in unison. Each output holds both the score and the entire performance, demonstrating a unique blend of code and art where the performance's full potential arises when exhibited collectively in a physical space.
Symphony for n Metronomes blends art and technology by using codes on Ethereum blockchain to create a decentralized and synchronized performance through multiple metronomes.
Inspired by historical works, the series transforms metronomes into interconnected elements, generating complex rhythms that mirror the dynamic, ongoing process of blockchain generation.
