A workshop in A-818 (CIRMMT Performance and Recording Lab Lab) on October 12, 14:30-16:30 on the Integration of live electronics and live video processing to composition and performance.
Presenters will be percussionist Victoria Sparks and composer Örjan Sandred. The workshop will be based on the recent work for percussion, live electronics and live video processing, Mimétisme (2021), composed by Sandred for Sparks.
Mimétisme, for percussion, live electronics and live video processing program notes:
Mimétisme explores the relationship between visual and aural stimuli and how they affect our perception of music. The live electronics work as an extension of the percussion instruments and responds to every stroke and roll. At times the electronic part goes beyond what the percussionist plays and becomes a virtual double that seems to obtain its own life. Three cameras capture the performance, which becomes the base for the video projections. Sometimes the video is closely linked to the live performance, but occasionally it breaks loose to support the electronic part. In this way, it blurs what is performed by the percussionist and what is purely generated by the electronics.
Mimétisme (en: mimicry) refers to how organisms and plants are able to mimic another species in order to for example protect against predators. It may also refer to the unconscious reproduction of gestures of others.
