In 2013, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “frequencies (a)” by Nicolas Bernier (Digital Musics & Sound Art) with the Golden Nica. Nicolas Bernier has 2 more works in this atlas.
_frequencies (a)*_ is a sound performance combining the sound of mechanically triggered tuning forks with pure digital sound waves. The performer triggers sequences from the computer, activating solenoids that hit the tuning forks very precisely.
