Sound of Chess is an interactive installation transforming chess into a generative musical experience. Using Bela and Pure Data, each move triggers evolving soundscapes, creating a unique composition every game. Inspired by theories from Philip Tagg, Brian Eno, and Alan Dorin, the system blends strategic play with dynamic sound design. 

Through qualitative research, we explored how sound enhances and alters the chess experience, revealing both immersive and disruptive effects. The project reimagines chess as a musical tool, bridging game mechanics and generative composition.

Made in collaboration with Tristan Wielemann. A very talented, creative and good friend.
