The Photonics

The Photonics is an optical sound project of Daniel Beban and Tim Barlow. Taking a cue from early experiments in light and sound technology, various light emitting sources (including ultraviolet therapy torches, strobes, remote controls and regular LED and tungsten bulbs) are modulated into sound via solar panels, resulting in an immediate and direct transposition of the optical into the audible.

Tim Barlow is a multi-media artist who works across across installation, performance and themed attractions. He has a PhD in Fine Arts from Massey University.

Daniel Beban lives in Pōneke, Aotearoa. His interests and projects are many and diverse, ranging from
composing and performing with internationally acclaimed touring acts, releasing recordings on NZ and
international labels, creating sound sculptures and sculptural instruments, producing radio documentaries
and experimental radio works, making field recordings, conducting oral history research, sound
engineering, running venues and curating concerts and festivals.
