A bipartite interactive and educational multimedia installation for conducting sound observations. The animation part gives users some basic knowledge of the physical properties of sound waves. The interactive part generates sounds by means of a synthesizer-controller, visualizing the produced sound which is interpreted through the purpose-adjusted Vectrex screen. The installation makes it possible to see how the sound changes when its basic parameters (e.g., amplitude or frequency) are modified, special effects are added, audio filters are applied, and/or a microphone is used. This experience helps the audience better understand the nature of sound and showcases the logic of images describing harmonic motion, known as the Lissajous curve.
