Digital Drumscapes — All sound and images generated from digital drumming.
Dr Jeremy J Ham makes art from the mathematics of music.
Working at the intersection of architectural design, musical improvisation, and computational tools, Ham translates the data of live drumming — note timing, velocity, duration — into large-format parametric artworks. Each piece is a spatial rendering of a specific performance: the unique visual fingerprint of how a musician played, in that moment, on that day.
The resulting works — luminous, radial, and formally complex — have been exhibited internationally and acquired for therapeutic, healthcare, and private collection environments.
Music as data. Data as form. Form as art.
LIQUID POLYRHYTHM SERIES
Large-format digital artworks generated from MIDI recordings of improvised drumming. Each work is built from the timing, velocity, and duration of every note struck during a specific performance — rendered through Rhino 3D Grasshopper parametric design software into luminous three-dimensional forms. No two works are the same: the form is a consequence of the music, and the music is never repeated.→ View the series / Enquire to purchase
SYNAESPATIA — NETWORKED VR
A live performative work in which polyrhythmic drumming, synthesisers, and theremin generate real-time three-dimensional virtual environments, navigable by audiences across networked locations. Performed at Ars Electronica, the International Computer Music Conference, IEEE Internet of Sounds, and eCAADe. Available for exhibition and commission.→View documentation / Discuss exhibition
HEALTHCARE & THERAPEUTIC ENVIRONMENTS
Ham's works are very suitable for therapeutic environments — hospitals, mental health facilities, and psychedelic medicine clinics — where evidence supports the role of abstract visual art in reducing patient anxiety and improving clinical outcomes. Works are available as signed limited editions, site-specific commissions, and six-month loan arrangements.
