Bicrophonics
[/mk_title_box][/mk_page_section][mk_page_section speed_factor=”4″ padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”0″ first_page=”true” last_page=”true” sidebar=”sidebar-1″]
Bicrophonics is about the mobility of sound and music, experienced and shared within a moving space, internet free. It was first explored through Matthews’ early experiments with the Radio Cycle project 2002 which inspired the making of the first Sonic Bike in The Marvelo Project (2008). READ MORE about the birth of bicrophonics…
We at the Bicrophonic Research Institute (BRI) explore and develop bicrophonics collectively to make place linked mobile sonic performance through the design and development of Sonic Bikes, Sensory Bikes and Buzz Bikes on land, and Sonic Kayaks on water.
We work with an open door policy, using open source software applications to make mobile and adaptable kits, all information of which we share online. We also run a variety of WORKSHOPS and LAB DAYS, inviting the most inspiring interdisciplinary expertise to come share and develop bicrophonics with all participants. We welcome contributions from anyone interested.
The Sonic Bike can be many things – a musical instrument, a portable stage, a game player, a doorway to listening and looking that creates good health, creating unique experience at every moment.

The next phase of sonic cycling – bikes that are responsive to the environment using air quality sensors. Making audible the particulate matter (PM2.5) we breathe through live sonification as you ride, at the same time gathering air quality data to be uploaded to open databases.
