Bronze

Audio files of the future will not be restricted to just one playback possibility.
They will be fluid, intelligent, and capable of responding to external input, offering the creator endless new possibilities.
They won’t just play, they will perform.

Projects
Arca

Projects
Nicolas Becker

Entirely conceived in high-end Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI), The Owl in Daylight, 2020, is a new work in motion by Nicolas Becker and Philippe Parreno. In constant evolution, the work is composed of visual sequences and sounds, re-imagined and juxtaposed in real-time by Bronze.

Projects
Philippe Parreno

Philippe Parreno and Arca used Bronze to create a work which will occupy the lobby of MoMA in New York for two years. “Echo” involves sound, light and animated physical objects. The work responds to itself and its surroundings endlessly.

Projects
John Gerrard and Richie Hawtin

Irish artist John Gerrard collaborated with British-Canadian electronic musician Richie Hawtin to create the digital artwork infin-1-iridescent-stream. The artwork features a shifting serpent making the “infinity” symbol and takes a full year to watch. As the seasons change the visuals and music change as well, this is facilitated by Bronze which constantly regenerates Hawtin’s composition. 

The piece showed at 3537 in Paris as part of a 3-month exhibition cycle.

Projects
Helsinki Biennaal

Bronze provided the immersive and ever-changing soundtrack for “ΨZone” by Finnish artist Tuomas A. Laitinen, a piece commissioned for Helsinki Biennaal.

Projects
A24 Film
A24 Music and Bronze present a musical metaverse; a structural reimagining of how a single piece of music might exist across an infinite number of parallel universes. This musical experience reflects Evelyn’s journey through the film Everything Everywhere All at Once, by turning the Son Lux, Mitski and David Byrne soundtrack composition “This is a Life” into a living work, where each experience of the piece is entirely unique.
