Hey ADAers, Quick note to let you know that I'm playing tomorrow afternoon at Audio Foundation at 4pm . Here's a brief description:
Source Code brings together live, improvised violin with custom designed software designed to dialogue with it. In this first concert of the 2022 Partitions & Resonances series, Johnny Chang, a veteran of the Berlin experimental music scene, collaborates with Luke Munn, writer and coder. Their work plays with and against the algorithm, exploring the possibility space of the machine as a third agent. Borrowing from different disciplines, the duo combines references to Western classical repertoire with newer production techniques like granular synthesis. The result is a trio of pieces that range from haunting, siren-like sounds, to frenetic loops, chopped samples, and delicate layers. For the technically minded, these are essentially web pages using the (relatively) new Web Audio components, which allow you to do things like listen to live audio and connect it to different "nodes" which alter it in different ways. These are actually very simple patches but, more importantly, the parameters and logic of each has been designed while playing and rehearsing. From a cultural production point of view, it's interesting that these could be open-sourced and then used/performed by anyone with an internet connection and a relatively fast system. Anyway thought I'd let people know, particularly those around Tāmaki Makaurau. Might see you there. best, Luke _______________________________________________ Ada_list mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] http://ada.net.nz/ Manage your list membership (Subscribe, Change to digest, Unsubscribe) http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/ada_list
