ICMC: paper and performance

I will be at ICMC12 in Ljubljana on 11-12 sept 12. I will present with Dario Sanfilippo the paper “Towards a typology of feedback systems”. The paper has received the Best Paper Award. Yai! Honored and proud. We will also present a paper + performance “Heterogenously-coupled feedback systems”, of course concerning the Bar Dot Project. We will present the Dark Store setting.

Pseudo at Grec Festival, BCN, 24-26/07/12

I’m proudly presenting Marcel·lí Antúnez Roca‘s new work Pseudo, to be premiered on Thu 24 July at Mercat de les Flors for the Grec Festival, in Barcelona. An impressive mechatronic peformance featuring a polar bear, a mechanical head, a miniprojector helmet, loudspeaker tits, 3 screens, a guncam, four channel audio, of course interactive and in real time, ‎(not to speak of pressure carpets and the usual exoskeleton). I made some 20 pieces, interactive, working in real time, on four channels, and developed the software structure for interconnecting the music application to the other (many) software components used in the performance. Of course, entirely developed in SuperCollider.

Objects (in the name of love)

In the same occasion, Susanna Legrenzi asked me to join the “Objects (in the name of love)” event chez Walter Voulaz boutique located in via Manzoni, an exhibition of affective objects. In the occasion, I will lend the exposition my fetish object, the Japanese tumbler toy that so well represents the music: “The composer makes plans, music laughs” (M. Feldman).
