Composing a melody over 500 years? 🐚
•
This project is an interactive image and sound system where algorithms simulate natural textures and expand according to the growth logic of seashells. As these patterns evolve, they are transformed into sound signals. The process compresses the slow, centuries-long growth of a shell into a ten-second melody—a time-lapse of nature's memory.
•
Like the growth rings of a tree, the shell's surface forms layers of darker and lighter stripes, recording seasonal changes. Some shells can live for decades or even centuries. In fact, scientists have reconstructed over a thousand years of marine climate history by studying these marks on shells—each one serves as a solid, silent chronicle of time.

Inspired by this idea, I began to wonder: what would it sound like if hundreds of years of transformation could be compressed into just a few seconds of music? •
To explore this, he studied a species of shell known for its "hieroglyphic" patterns, reimagining the shell as a musical accompaniment. Then I simulated its natural growth process and turned its evolving textures into sound signals - composing a melody written by
time.
