Part 2: 3D Archiving
3D Explanation
The 3D component extends the audio-wheel logic into space. Using audio reactivity in TouchDesigner, the choir’s recordings drive parameters of geometry—position, scale, deformation, emission and material response. Peaks and harmonics write forces into the model; dynamics modulate motion and light. The music effectively sculpts its own archive: each piece produces a distinct spatial signature that can be rendered, recorded, or explored live.
3D Explanation — Videos
Explanation 01 — Overview of the audio-reactive pipeline, showing how mesh structures were created to extend the length of animations and how camera motion was used to generate multiple visual perspectives.
Explanation 02 — Demonstrates how individual materials worked together, combining multiple reactive layers into one unified visual presence.

Closing Remarks
Together, the 2D prints and 3D forms create a dual memory of Choir Lab: one that compresses time into images, and one that lets the sound itself build space. Both are archives and artworks—made possible only when many voices act as one.
