A
presentation of 7 audio performances in a multimedia environment
The
artist performs live remixes of tracks from his
repertoire in a light filled space.
A
theramin is used as the interface to control the digital
data flow (audio programme) with gestural motions.
slide
projectors with motor-driven prismatic lenses beam
text through the fog in multiple split beams that
diverge and converge.
a
smoke machine fills the space with synthetic smoke
and data projectors project onto side walls and
ceiling
The
technology being used is a mixture of simple low-tech and
complex state of the art. The theremin is an example of
the earliest electronic sound generators; consisting of
simple occilators forming interference patterns to produce
waveforms, yet it is being used to control the flow of complex
digital soundforms produced with the latest fractal sound
design software. Equally the slide projectors, simple light
sources casting shadows from miniature images with mechanized
prisms splitting the beams, display text generated with
hi-tech imaging software.
