This project explores the relationships within an acoustic and electronic performing ensemble for improvised music in virtual environments with deliberately varying characteristics. Variations in acoustics provide a new dynamic parameter of music in addition to harmony, melody, and rhythm. The performance is enhanced by dynamic visual elements with interwoven artistic images and views of the performers in a shared virtual space.
For this performance I adapted the software I designed for the ICAD conference. I am masking the performers with abstract visuals (videos). As the performers move, the part of their body that moves becomes visible "through" the abstract imagery.
A "distance performance" or "telepresence" is "the act or process of performing in two or more places simultaneously - usually through an apparatus that is some form of human/machine system."
Tintinnabulate were joined by Curtis Bahn and Tomie Hahn. We performed in NY and were broadcast to San Diego for the prestigious Siggraph2007 conference.
