Green Sound improvisations using S.M.I.L.E. (2008-2011)
A good metaphor for thinking through the complex sonic ecology in a performance is an ecotone. An ecotone is a transition between two adjoining ecological communities, such as the transitional area between a forest and a prairie. This is the "ecological" transitional space or environment of sound, improviser and listener.

N_DREW is a liminal entity, a fleshy avatar and an embodied data immigrant improvising with noizical instruments and glitchy living pixels and sonic reverberations.

N_DREW explores the boundaries of two "communities" of synthesized audio in a sonic "environment". The interface, called S.M.I.L.E. or spherical media instrument for live environments, uses various sensors, tracks movement and produces light and sound in real-time to traverse the ecotone of improvised performance.
