Sonification for Music Therapy

Fri, 08/05/2011 - 04:37 — Jon

In 2008 I worked with Alan Lem and Garth Paine to develop motion tracking based interactive music systems for use in music therapy sessions at the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Centre. This is some video documentation of our trial sessions.

Thinking Through The Body: Sensorium Gymnasium – "Wee Leaf"

In August 2009 I had the opportinity to work with the Thinking Through The Body ArtLab - a research residency led by George Khut and Lizzie Muller, with Jonathan Duckworth, Somaya Langley, Lian Loke, Garth Paine, Maggie Slattery and Catherine Truman.

For Jonathan Duckworth I developed this sonification, the Wii Balance Board 'measures' the center of gravity of participants as they try and balance a leaf on their nose, creating a gentle, spatial sonic response.

Bystander - interactive installation - 2007

Part of the Life After Wartime suite, Bystander is a 5-channel interactive software system. The work is installed in a 7-metre-wide pentagonal frame comprised of five projection-screens and surround sound audio which visitors enter – up to 10 at once. All round them, a spirit-world of images, texts and sound gets composed in response to their movement, mass and attentiveness.

Wayfarer is a live game space, where teams of audience improvise to direct their player through a hidden territory. The performers' body mounted computers send streamed video, audio and locative data to the Wayfarer software, which is projected back to the audience. Part exploration, part competition, part surreal thriller, Wayfarer is a truly hybrid event, where live and mediated performance, urban choreography, ubiquitous computing, gameplay and site specificity come together in a volatile mix.
