In collaboration with the musician Matthew Dear, the strategic music agency Listen and a talented team of acoustic and interactive specialists, The Principals created an interactive architectural environment that allows visitors to enter the music of Matthew Dear. Using Microsoft Kinect technology, our team activated a pliable landscape of mesh that invites visitors to interact with Dear's composition. As visitors press and climb on the mesh the song alters in composition, never playing the same way twice.
