Here’s an improvised piece I performed with fellow CCRMAlites Spencer Salazar and Myles Borins. Dinkelspiel Auditorium, Stanford. December 1, 2012.
I’m using my guitar as input to my sonified swarm simulation (on GitHub here). Myles is using his monome and some Ableton/Max for Live magic. Spencer is using the GameTrak controller to apply granular synthesis in real time to the sounds made by Myles and me. The result was a spooky, middle-of-Echoes soundscape.
From the program note:
Through generative systems, algorithmic composition, gestural control, and live looping Specener Salazar, Timothy O’Brien, and Myles Borins create a unique and improvised sound scape. Developed over the fall quarter under the tutelage of Roberto Morales, “Side Two” is a collaboration of individuals and their respective technologies, steeped in the theory and practice of improvisation.
