Background:
In 2016, I worked with Gabriel Dunne to develop a collaborative audio/visual performance for Soundwave((7)) at Grace Cathedral.
Goal:
To create a ritualistic performance system using spacialized audio signals and real-time video manipulation. Ritualistic performance system to consist of water-based video controller and gestural audio looper and controller.
WK1 -- Brainstorming + Testing
Water sensor to control visual content Mask to control aural content
Performance Site -- Listening Room Okay to burn / use scents? Dry Ice? Max capacity in Listening Room?
To do:
Bare Conductive Touch Board + Water Sensor Testing in Max Arduino code + upload to Touch Board Max MSP/Jitter + Touch Board testing Add water sensor input to video mixer patch Collect Field Recordings Fire / Machines / Energy Facility / Electrical Drone Sounds
WK2 -- Testing + Collection
Water Sensor Testing in Max MSP/Jitter [1]
I managed to get data into Max from the Bare Conductive micro-controller. After a few minutes the microcontroller seems to get overloaded and freezes. If I reload the Arduino code onto the board data starts to work in Max temporarily. This issue seems fairly consistent. My laptop also seems to be having trouble processing video and receiving data at the same time. The latency of sensor data into Max is painfully slow while video is running. Sensor response is proficient with no video processing.
I will need a new laptop. This is not a surprise.

Keywords in Sound, Chapter 15, Resonance, by Veit Erlmann Keywords in Sound, Chapter 17, Space, by Andrew J. Eisenberg The Soundscape: Our Sonic Environment & the Tuning of the World, by R. Murray Schaffer, Chapter 12, Symbolism
To do:
Research options for new laptop (2015 Macbook Pro) + Stanford support
Mask controller into Max MSP/Jitter
Build simple looper w/ adc
Test Teensy + MIDI
Edit field recordings
Collect more field recordings
WK3 -- More Testing + Collecting
Simple Audio Looper Interface for Testing | Max MSP/Jitter --
