‘Aurora Machinery’ is system designed in the visual coding environment of Max/MSP to
implement an audiovisual interactive installation, where the audience can interact and affect
the sound output with the motion of their bodies. This thesis focuses not just on the examination
of such a system and its creative use in composition. It provides a relevant chronological
retrospection from anthropological, aesthetic and technological standpoint, delving into
theoretical primary concerns such as how humans relate to music, the interconnection between
music and society, the potential of technology as a creative tool, and the blur limits at which it
becomes an end in itself.
