about

In this piece, I use gestural composition to create a dynamic, improvisational performance in combination with digital technology. A non-tactile gestural controller or motion sensor detects my movement and position in 3D space. The sensor sends live information about the location of my head, hands, feet and various other parts of my body, as well as the motions they perform, to custom software running in the SuperCollider programming environment. This software, in turn, translates the information into parameters that can be used to trigger and modify sound in real-time.

Put more simply, I control multiple musical parameters to augment virtual musical instruments live by using the movement of my body. Because the piano is algorithmic, I never quite know how balance between the piano and sound clips will be achieved from performance to performance.
