A special composition was made for the painting “Sonic Network no.11” which is now on permanent display in the Hamer Hall of the Victorian Arts Centre, Melbourne.

In this collaboration, Brian May takes into consideration the structure and composition of the painting, emulating the moiré (wave-like) patterns, which are demonstrated via audio interference of the sine waves (known as beat frequencies) in the sound piece. The sine wave tones created are thus audio representations of the circular forms, geometric shapes and reverberating patterns in ‘Sonic Network no.11’.

The audio can be heard online via the Hamer Hall’s audio guide using any wi-fi enabled device.
