Jet Stream

Jet Stream is a work for flute and live computer processing.

The interactive electroacoustics in Jet Stream are created through the use of an underlying virtual model of a flute. This "hybrid" virtual instrument is controlled through parameters such as bore length, blow intensity, pressure, canal width, labium position. The "real" acoustic flute sounds are analysed with respect to tone colour, volume envelopes, frequency and spectral content. These sonic gestures are then mapped to performance parameters for the computer's virtual flute sonification. Of course the virtual flute doesn't have to conform to the physical constraints of the "real-world".

Pattern Recognition

Pattern Recognition is an interactive composition or performance; its identity can be considered equally in terms instrument, composition and improvisation. Composition in part becomes instrument design - mapping interfaces to sound generating parameters, but also designing algorithmic process and points of sonic potential to be realised through performance.

pi: Irrational

Π (Pi) was formed as a collaboration between Sydney-based composer/performers Jon Drummond and John Encarnacao in 1997. Using digital and analogue synthesis, the duo’s live practice is improvisatory, while their studio work takes recordings of these improvisations as the basis for further sonic playfulness. Their approach and palette are informed by a wide range of artists, from early Severed Heads, Autechre and Oval, to Stockhausen, Xennakis and Jonty Harrison. The first Π album, Irrational, was released on vinyl only in 1999 on Psychopyjama; the second, Secret Robot Business was completed in 2002, but has yet to be released.

Sonic Construction

Max/MSP/Jitter, Firewire video camera (iSight), Glass, Water, Sugar, Coloured Dyes, 2ch or multi-channel (configurable) sound, data projector.

Duration c. 15 - 20 min

In this work, movement and colour are used to generate a sound environment based on real-time fof synthesis and spatialisation. The slow and evolving patterns of coloured dye in a viscous liquid are mapped into various sound synthesis parameters.

Wayfarer - Kate Richards and Martyn Coutts

CarriageWorks/PSpace
5-8 September 2007

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.
