the project modell zur visualisierung enables a visualization of sound based on the impact of magnetic fields on an electron beam. the precisely crafted soundtrack created for this project comprises of a constellation of sine wave tones. a coil within the cathode ray tube receives these frequencies converting them into a magnetic field whose impact becomes visible in the form of the modulation of a blue electronic beam.
