Makes music with people, places, and sonic bikes.
Bicrophonics is the practice that makes music and stories for bicycles and places, triggered and determined by you the cyclist dependent on where you go, how you ride, and the action of the spaces you ride through. Playing from bicycle mounted speakers, free of headphones and free of the internet, each ride provides new audio experience whilst transforming familiar streets into surprising movies.
Bicrophonics researches the making of mobile composition and was discovered and realised through Kaffe Matthews’ experiments with Radio Cycle(2002) and The Marvelo Project(2008), then developed with the establishment of The Bicrophonic Research Institute(BRI) in 2013 within which five different kinds of sonic bikes have been designed and built, making thirty new Sonic Bike Operas/Rides to date.
