Sonic Veins

“Sonic Veins” is a digital sound art project that explores the posthuman auditory condition through the evolution of human transportation. Using field recordings, modular synthesis (VCV Rack), and algorithmic processing (Max/MSP), the work constructs a sonic narrative from walking to racing cars—questioning the technological mediation of sound and its role in reshaping human and non-human auditory agency. The piece is both a tribute to acoustic ecology pioneer Hildegard Westerkamp and a critical engagement with posthumanism in sound practice.

This project features two modes of sonic performance: one utilizes pre-recorded material for live playback, while the other employs real-time sound transformation via the VCV Rack modular synthesizer and Max/MSP software. The performance is structured into three main movements, each comprising two sub-sections. Below is an itemized list of sound collection and processing categories involved in this creation.
