Planephones, or planofoni, [1] represent an innovative sound art creation. They are vibrating systems based on wood panels (or other materials) and different forms. [2] Planephones diffuse the sound according to specifications which depend on the structure of the material, [3] on the geometry of the design, [4] on the orientation and curvature of the surfaces, and on the plastic volumes occupied. [5]
Planephones differ from conventional sound diffusion systems [6] in that the sound acquires the timbral quality [7] of the material employed [8] and, in addition, by diffusing the sound homogeneously [9] along the surface, permits designing the acoustic space. [10] according to the architectural space. [11]
Planephones were conceived by composer Michelangelo Lupone, [12] as art installations (1997), and are the result of studies on the vibrational qualities of materials with the collaboration of CRM-Centro Ricerche Musicali.
Planephones are works of art [13] which integrate form, matter, sound, music language and expression. [14] They integrate the relevant aspects of sound and visual perception, creating new modes of fruition of the work of art. [15]
