About the computer music::: The sound elements of the performance consist of the acoustic inputs from violin and voice and the computer generated sound which is controlled by sound-interactive patches build in the programming environment PureData. Tonal structures are formed by algebraic algorithms. Some of these structures are inspired by the nature of the overtone-series. Others are abstract constructs inspired by the equal tempered tuning, as being the 12th roots of 2, but taking this idea manyfold into the micro-tonal realm. Also rhythmical and dynamic information from the acoustic inputs is being recorded and processed. The patches are endlessly variable within these systems due to build-in random flexibility, hence a non-predictable response though within the chosen harmonic system. Composed into the performance is in the beginning an initiating 'seeding' of the psuedo-random series through the dynamics of the first acoustic piece, this ritual will determine the computers response for the rest, though the possibilities are far too great to be grasped with the rational human mind. Also -lets say- a mystical - experience of the properties and qualities of numbers has an impact when choosing numerical inputs for the algorithms. |

Technical Information the project is aimed at smaller to medium spaces; for an audience of 20 to 400 the audience must preferably have the possibillity to sit down - sound: 2 lines to well-defined power-amplification (in case this is not available we are able to bring our own PA) - light: 3-5 lamps for the smaller spaces will be sufficient please contact us with any questions |
