William Duckworth's Cathedral - Nostradamus - Chartres -
www.monroestreet.com/Cathedral/ Hear (and play along!) with William Duckworth’s
interactive music-making project, Cathedral, in the vaulted glass cathedral of
the Winter Garden. There’s acoustic and computer music to be heard and made on
newly created virtual instruments and conventional ones as part of this
Cathedral performance.
Created specifically for the World Wide Web, the Cathedral project was
constructed around a collection of five mystical moments in time; the building
of the Great Pyramid, the building of the cathedral at Chartres, the founding
of the Ghost Dance religion of Native Americans in the late 19th century, the
building of the atomic bomb, and the founding of the world wide web.
The whole Cathedral Project is made up of the website; the PitchWeb, which is
one of the virtual instruments designed for the site to allow listeners to play
together online; and The Cathedral Band, a group of improvising musicians that
gives periodic live performances from venues around the world, during which
PitchWeb players can contribute to the concert. The Cathedral Band includes
Stuart Dempster, trombone, toys, and didgeridoo; Abel Domingues, guitar;
William Duckworth, PitchWeb; Nora Farrell, PitchWeb Moderator; Arthur J.
Sabatini, The Chronicler; DJ Tamara, records; "Blue" Gene Tyranny, keyboards.
Sit in with The Cathedral Band using the PitchWeb through wi-fi hookups. You’ll
need both Shockwave and Quicktime installed to experiment with the PitchWeb,
(check your settings at www.pitchweb.net) the virtual instrument that allows
anyone to play along with Cathedral in real time by making music out of shapes.
It feels kind of like a giant chat-room, but with music-making capabilities.
Your sonic building blocks come in several sets, sampled to order by the
palette of colors and shapes which are the basis for player-composers who
choose the elements of the music to be crafted. More about how to use and play
with the Pitchweb: www.pitchweb.net
