Texturologie 16: Owl Tree Gongs (2013)
computer and Wii™ remote with collage drawings
c. 9:30

Texturologie 16: Owl Tree Gongs is part of my ongoing interest in computer music with alternative controllers, and one of my efforts to incorporate my visual art with my music.

Program Note

Texturologie 16 involves a series of texture spaces in which various sounds are in various locations. The sounds are a combination of recorded sound files processed in real time and sounds synthesized in real time. A series of six collage drawings, scanned and projected on the screen, provides the “score” for a performance. The drawings serve as a source of paths through different locations of the texture space. I follow the images with a Wii™ remote as if pointing at an invisible surface in front of me that reflects the way my eyes travel through the images.
