Came from this It has come out of the BA2 option on gesture / interaction, in particular: explored group interaction and the relationships between acoustic instrument performance and digital interfaces It is built on a technical infrastructure - which involves the use of text as a mediating and controlling medium. (called a 'name space') which can be sent wirelessly between computers, linking and connecting remote objects.
Will be like this the final shape is not yet decided, but certain key features have been.
there will be 5 groups (islands) of performers, each group will have a single loudspeaker. The groups will be of 2, 3 or 1 person. The groups will be arranged about the space, near enough to have visual and audible contact with each other. Each group has a single laptop that is in communication with the others using a wireless airport connection.
Data is is sent to all the islands simultaneously - this data is interpreted separately and independently by each group using programs and sounds that they have developed.
the data comes from several sources 1. Performance data from a live musician (analysis of pitch, attack transients and movement) It would be great if this was Sinfonietta musician
2. Video analysis of a live image (either shadows of people on a wall or screen, illuminated paint expanding in water 60's style, lights shining on a wall- to be decided)
2. A steady pulse (this can be fractionated)
3. A more random pulse (derived either from remote sensing, or from statistical data like the annual water heights in the Venice lagoon, or some sensitive time varying environmental data)
Influenced by this
to draw on Nono and his own work (particularly ideas to do with historical continuity v 'cut and splice')
to look at the political process in the improvisation, ie to see how agreement, control and diversity are negotiated (also in regard to the messages sent through the network and their interpretation)
Each member of the class is developing ideas - some of which will be visible on the blog.
We will aim to find some simple sonic themes that will allow a degree of unity in the final piece - certainly using vocal material, but probably other as well.
