"What is PolyNodes ?
PolyNodes is our cutting-edge sound synthesis / generative audio platform that is set to transform the way one interacts with sound.

PolyNodes transcends traditional sound design by expanding two-dimensional waveforms into a dynamic 3D spatial navigation experience.
PolyNodes extracts and analyzes the temporal properties of the input sound and maps them in a 3D space to create a visible geometric structure.

This pioneering approach allows to identify key sound moments as geodesic points or nodes, interconnected through a network of triangulations. The result is a multi-scale complex sonic navigation through its input material.

Multi scale Sound Composition :

The platform employs a multi-layered approach to sound composition, handling the macro, meso and micro regions of sound as temporal references.

Architectural Approach to Sound design:
Inspired by the architectural metaphor of crystalline structures, PolyNodes treats sound as a structured entity, arranging its fundamental units akins to spatial architecture, embracing the generative essence of sonic creation.

Innovative 3D Sound Navigation :

– Each sound material generates a unique 3D geometric entity based on the macro, meso and micro level onset time analysis.

– The engine features multiple playheads, known as node agents, equipped with advanced re-synthesis and signal processing techniques to navigate on the 3D entity.

– Multiple navigation strategies to chose from for the macro, meso and micro level agents.

DSP Interactables :
PolyNodes introduces DSP interactables, allawing direct interaction with the PolyNodes 3D geometry. The proximity of agents to these interactable objects determines the extent of their influence, integrating spatial interaction as a core component of sound design."
