Untitled 8 is the first interface implemented using JunctionBox by a
programmer other than the primary author. The audio engine consists of a
single frequency modulated oscillator with reverb and granular
synthesis effects processing, all implemented in Pd. The interface is
designed for the realization of a loosely scored composition.
Performed at CCRMA, Stanford University, Summer 2010.
MACHiNENOiSY (Vancouver): The Open Spaces Project (2009)
Co-presented with MACHiNENOiSY through The Dance Centre's
Artist-in-Residence program
An ambitious and exciting new work for a cast of six men, The Open
Spaces Project is an international collaboration between MACHiNENOiSY
Co-Artistic Director Daelik, Berlin-based Australian performance artist
Paul Gazzola and Calgary-based sound and new media artist Adam Tindale.
The piece investigates the influence of space on identity, the
relationship between architecture and gender, and constructs of
masculinity, drawing on themes ranging from the cowboy as a masculine
icon to the colonization of remote landscapes. Weaving innovative
choreography, sophisticated video manipulation and sound together, The
Open Spaces Project presents a multilayered essay on people and space.
RECORD is at once a performance, critique, and intervention on the
recording medium. Christopher Small, in his book Musicking, conjectures
that music is an event not an object, or rather it is a verb and not a
noun. However a recording is both, a recording lays dormant ready to be
performed. Record itself is both a noun and verb until it is
contextualized in language. RECORD is created as a static object that is
performed either by the artist or by the listener.
RECORD was premiere at High Performance Rodeo - MIDWAY 2011 in Calgary,
AB, Canada.
The above link will take you to the sourcecode for the visual engine for
Temporal Extinction Event. This software was written entirely in
Processing using insipirations from the Creative Pact 2010 code sprint
from September.
The video below was shot by Kari McQueen and edited by Clinker. Enjoy!
This work was generously supported by the Alberta Foundation for the
Arts.
Though I have been quiet I have been busy. I really like doing sprint
work, like Creative Pact 2010 in September, so I have decided to make my
own theme: Documentation. This week I am going to write a new post every
day with documentation of what I have been doing in the past few months.
I have been playing with software and hardware and doing some shows. You
will get a little taste of that in different forms every day this week.
I hope you find something that you like!
