Circle Squared and Circle Keys – Performing on and with an Unstable Live Algorithm for the Disklavier

- Two related versions of an unstable live algorithm for the Disklavier player piano are presented. The underlying gen- erative feedback system consists of four virtual musicians, listening to each other in a circular configuration. There is no temporal form, and all parameters of the system are controlled by the performer through an intricate but direct mapping, in an attempt to combine the experienced mu- sician’s physical control of gesture and phrasing, with the structural complexities and richness of generative music. In the first version, Circle Squared, the interface is an array of pressure sensors, and the performer performs on the sys- tem without participating directly, like a puppet master. In the second version, control parameters are derived directly from playing on the same piano that performs the output of the system. Here, the performer both plays with and on the system in an intricate dance with the unpredictable output of the unstable virtual ensemble. The underlying mapping strategies are presented, together with the struc- ture of the generative system. Experiences from a series of performances are discussed, primarily from the perspective of the improvising musician.

Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Two compositional studies based on the idea of complexity, explored in two radically different ways. First, as a feedback network of frequency-modulating oscillators, then as an exploration of periodic and aperiodic trajectories in self-referenceing lookup tables.

YouHero – Making an Expressive Concert Instrument from the GuitarHero Controller
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the Internation Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression, NIME 2014. - 2220-4792 .- 2220-4806. - 9781906897291 ; , s. 403-406

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The idea behind the YouHero was two-fold. First, to make an expressive instrument out of the computer game toy guitar controller from the famous game GuitarHero. With its limited amount of control parameters, this was a challenge. Second, through this instrument we wanted to provide an alternative to the view that you become a hero by perfect imitation of your idols. Instead, play yourself. You are the hero. In this paper, we describe the design of the instrument, including its novel mapping approach based on switched timbre vectors scaled by accellerometer data, unconventional sound engines and the sound and mapping editing features, including manual editing of individual vectors. The instrument is evaluated through its practical applications during the whole project, with workshops with teenagers, a set of state-funded commissions from professional composers, and the development of considerable skill by the key performers.

Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Signs, Cycles, Snares är ett beställningsverk av Kultur i Halland med den vaga instruktionen ”någonting med cyklar och musik” vilket resulterade i det här stycket för två virveltrummor och två cyklar komponerat i det interaktiva improvisationssystemet ”The Bucket System”.
