Hed - 𐤄𐤃

(Echo)

Rituals in sound, light and motion
using Percept (Sound Based AR System)

𐤄𐤃 - 𐤄𐤃𐤉𐤌 - 𐤄𐤃𐤄𐤅𐤃

𐤀) Hed  𐤄𐤃  is a Book of Rituals - written in Phoenician letters, in ancient Hebrew language.

𐤁) Inside 𐤄𐤃 are ceremonial rules and descriptions of the instruments that bring them to life - acts and tools that generate an augmented reality through sound, movement, and presence: devices that extend the senses, bend sound, and open the room into another layer of reality.

𐤂) there are two main experiences you have with Hed 𐤄𐤃, one is private the other is collective: 

𐤄𐤃𐤉𐤌 - Hedim (Echoes) -  a participant steps alone into the space, wearing a set of movement sensors and headphones. inside they participate in a one-on-one ritual. 

.

𐤄𐤃𐤄𐤅𐤃 - "Hidhud" (Resonance) - a group session of a sound based augmented realty session.

𐤃) Each encounter is a small shift in perception, a reminder that magic can appear in the simplest acts: listening, moving, pausing, echoing.

Extracts from the process

 𐤀𐤅𐤓𐤉 are rituals shaped by fire.

Fire becomes both instrument and character.

flickering in real time, shaping the atmosphere with

every movement.

 

The motion of the fire transforms the sound.

light is the composer, and light its living language.

𐤒𐤉𐤃𐤄 are rituals shaped by movement​

The body becomes both spell and instrument.

Every gesture, every breath, shapes the atmosphere in

real time.

 

The motion of the body transforms the sound.

Small gestures bend the frequencies.

A turn of the spine alters the rhythm.

𐤌𐤉𐤋𐤄  are rituals shaped by words

​​

When a word is repeated enough times, it stops being a word - It becomes a portal. 

Hed 𐤄𐤃 listens and response 

 

In these rituals, spoken repetition awakens sound.
