improvisation for objects and voice with live electronics

Here is the same video in 640x480

I'm working on the music of Lucy Ridley's choreography. I'll perform most of it as well: (bassoon, voice and electronics, other sounds, some automatic movement following and more!)

It is FREE but you MUST RESERVE A PLACE!

Due to its site specific nature we can only allow a small amount of people to watch at each performance (12 maximum!), you need to reserve places for each person, and they are running out! Just let me know here (commentary) or by email!

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.
