Mayday

Description

Mayday began its life as an acoustic piece of music, only to then modulate and transform itself into an acousmatic quasi-psychedelic a/v excursion. The compositional process involved taking various rich acoustic sources, which are then sequenced and manipulated in an order that creates tension, alluding to some destination that is never quite reached. The video speculates accordingly. While advances in Digital Arts have provided us with many new and exciting sounds and video tools, Mayday is a reminder of how powerful the combination of organic acoustic and real-time video sources with today’s technology can be. 

Technical Description:
Audio is generated via spectral and temporal processing of acoustic instrumental sources. Video is generated via a feedback loop system activated by multiple cameras. Light sources are created in real-time and represent the input element of the feedback loop system created for the performance.
