3-Deleq stands for 3-Dimensional, ElectroLuminescent, EQualiser. It is a
sound responsive light sculpture that uses electroluminescent technology.
3-Deleq has been created so that any music or sound can be input; the sound is
then split into three separate frequency ranges and individually represented by
the three different coloured sets of rings. Bass frequencies are represented by
the red rings, mid-range frequencies are represented by the yellow rings and
treble frequencies are represented by the green rings. The higher the level of
each of the individual frequency ranges that are sensed, the more rings that
represent that frequency range are illuminated…starting from low levels at the
bottom, to high levels at the top…creating an animated visual representation of
the sounds that you are hearing…similar to a graphic equaliser display, but in a
three-dimensional cylindrical form.

“I wanted to create an audio-visual experience that takes the enjoyment of music
to a higher level, where you can see the sound as well as hear it.” (Jamie Barrett - Futuretro)

There is also a sequencer driver unit in 3-Deleq, so that pre-set patterns can
be programmed. This allows a visual display to be created that can be enjoyed
without the need of any sound being input.
