UNBURN.IT

UNBURN.IT A SONG-AS-WEB-BROWSER-GAME SET IN A BURNING OCEAN. AS THE PLAYER SINKS THROUGH THE SCREEN SPACE, CLICKING AND DRAGGING CHANGES THE VIEW AND ALTERS THE STRUCTURE OF THE MUSIC. THIS ECO-GRIEF DIRGE CAN BE BENT AND MORPHED INTO DANCEABLE CATHARSIS OR DISJOINTED FRAGMENTS.

POSTCLUB.CLUB

POSTCLUB.CLUB IS A SONG-AS-WEB-BROWSER-GAME SET BELOW THE EARTH’S SURFACE. IN THIS “UNDERGROUND CLUB” MYTHICAL BEINGS LIKE THE M IMP AND FAMA DANCE WITH RARE MINERAL SPRITES IN PERPETUITY. THE VISITOR HAS BASIC CONTROLS OVER THE MUSIC AND ACTS AS AN UNWITTING DJ OF POST CLUB MUSIC IN THIS POST-CLUB WORLD. 

PLAYABLE MUSIC SCORE

(GAME-LIKE A/V INTERFACE) 

THIS IS A PROOF OF CONCEPT FOR COMPUTER MUSIC PERFORMANCE SYSTEM. A PLAYER IS REPRESENTED BY A STICK FIGURE, WHICH IS GENERATED WITH SKELETON TRACKING DATA (VIA A VERSION 2 KINECT SENSOR AND TOUCH DESIGNER).

NOTES IN A SCORE APPEAR AS FALLING BLOBS AND SOUNDS ARE PRODUCED WHEN THESE ARE “HIT” OR “CAUGHT” (VIA PRESSING/HOLDING BUTTONS ON AN OSC CONTROLLER). ONCE THE SOUND OBJECT IS “CAUGHT”  GESTURES ALONG THE X AND Y AXES ALTER DIFFERENT SONIC PARAMETERS.

THIS CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK LENDS MORE EMBODIED EXPRESSION TO ELECTRONIC COMPOSITIONS THAN A TYPICAL EMAIL-TYPE PERFORMANCE. (EMAIL TYPE PERFORMANCES CAN BE TRANSCENDANT AND SEDUCTIVE IN THEIR OWN WAYS, I MEAN NO DISRESPECT). 

THE PRACTICAL LIMITATIONS OF THE DEMO PROHIBITED ME FROM DEVELOPING THIS VERSION FURTHER. I WOULD RATHER BE A MUSICIAN THAN A LUTHIER AND I WOULD RATHER BE DANCER THAN A CODER, SO THAT’S WHAT I’M DOING NOW. 

I HOPE TO DESIGN A BETTER VERSION OF THIS CONCEPT FOR MY LIVE SHOWS WITH A TEAM OF REAL LUTHIER-CODERS ONE DAY, AND IF YOU IDENTIFY AS SUCH PLEASE GET IN TOUCH :)

FLING

NAMED FOR THE GESTURE OF THROWING SOMEETHING AND FOR “A PERIOD OF ENJOYMENT OR WILD BEHAVIOR,” FLING IS AN EXPERIMENT IN VIRTUAL REALITY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. 

BUILT WITH PURE DATA AND UNITY, THE BEST THING ABOUT THESE INTERFACES IS THAT THEY FEEL ACTUALLY EXPRESSIVE IN A FUN AND EVEN VOLATILE WAY! HOWEVER, VR IS NOT THE FUTURE, LOL. BUT HANDHELD DEVICES WITH BUTTONS DEFINITELY ARE 

FLING DEMONSTRATION

WHY THE BODY / WHY MY BODY  

THIS PIECE USES A HEARTRATE SENSOR TO CONTROL THE PULSE OF (LITERAL) DANCE MUSIC AND A FLASHING LIGHT. THE IDEAL PERFORMANCE ERUPTS FROM WITHIN A STANDING (DANCING) AUDIENCE IN A DARK SPACE.
