Visitor from Within
Visitor from Within is an intermedia composition comprised of interactive software and controlled using either a Wacom graphics tablet or a standard mouse and keyboard configuration. The composition may be performed in a concert setting or may be downloaded for personal use. Sounds are generated using complex modulation synthesis techniques as well as through playback of pre-recorded sounds. Similiarly, video is generated using pre-recorded video as well as through procedural basis functions, which generate patterns mathematically. The use of both pre-recorded sounds and images as well as sound and video which are generated in real-time mimics the dichotomy of real and non-real elements of the abstract narrative within the piece. This narrative deals with such themes as manipulation, memory, and liberation. Additionally, the real-time creation of audio and video using randomly generated values ensures that each performance will be different than the previous one. Below is a concert performance at the Future Music Oregon spring concert in Eugene, OR on May 9th, 2009. |
