premiered 20th March 2009, 35 minutes
Choreographer’s note:

Music note:
In Lucy’s Sticky Pathway the music has been involved in the creative process at all times . From the beginning we did dance and music improvisation where the dance and music influence each other. For this work it was very important to have a strong link between the dance and the music and to integrate completely the music and the musician in the work itself as well as incorporating sounds made by the dancers in the music. To be able to make this mutual influence dynamic we used live music either solo or with live electronics (bassoon, treble recorder solo and voice with live electronics) or accelerometers to follow closely the movements of the dancers. (Accelerometers from Nintendo Wii Remotes that control the sound in an application programmed by Sonia Paço-Rocchia using Max/MSP)

I have been invited to this conference, as a performer. I couldn’t make it. We agreed to have a video instead of a performance and a talk with webcam. Here the videos.
Live voice improvisation is the source of real-time electronic effects which are controlled by switches,
orientation and gesture-recognition of the hands and arms using the bluetooth Nintendo Wii Nunchucks and
Remotes. This is done in Max/MSP using aka.wiiremote object and mnm library. An assemblage of one or
two pairs of Remote/Nunchuck used with a wireless headset, provides a powerful means of integrating free
bodily movements with improvised voice. The tool being versatile, it has been used in a lot of different
contexts, sometimes solo or as a part of a duo or other ensemble.
