LIQUID POLYRHYTHM

The ‘Liquid Polyrhythm’ exhibition transforms the polyrhythm of drumming into ‘liquid’ digital artworks. Utilising improvisation as a generative methodology, I have revealed my musical lexicon through the recording of hundreds of drum solos on the digital drum kit. From these, I extracted a vast musical data set then applied a series of computational procedures to develop new worlds of liquid polyrhythm where the improvised complexities of my drumming are transformed into multi-layered psychedelic imagery: as polyrhythm manifested in visual delight.

Jeremy J Ham (PhD) is a SurfCoast-based architect, design researcher, drummer and digital artist. Through a PhD in Architecture and Design at SIAL RMIT (2019), Jeremy theorised a continuum between the musical and the spatial domains (the musico-spatial) through his dual practice as a drummer and architect. Jeremy’s musico-spatial creative practice operates across sound (Digital Drumscapes), digital art (Liquid Polyrhythm) and in Virtual Reality (Synaespatia).

Jeremy has exhibited works at in Melbourne and Coastal Victoria and presented research papers and performative installations internationally.
