involves:
- creation or manipulation of video for audience
- live multimedia performance including video, actors, dancers, etc
- real time mix of different media
- real time processing of video
Granular Synthesis
meaning: sound design
- use of light, video &audio > melt/combine sound and image together > image composed like music
- based on the same principle as sampling but the samples are not played back conventionally
> are split into small pieces of around 1 to 50 ms
small pieces = grains
> multiple grains may be layered on top of each other
> may play at different speeds, phases, volume, and frequency, among other parameters
MaxMspJitter
- visual programming language for music & multimedia
- developed and maintained by software company Cycling '74
- during its 20-year history has been used by: composers, performers, software designers, researchers, and artists for creating recordings, performances, and installations
Pure Data
- alternative for Max
- developed in the 1990's
- visual programming language for creating interactive computer music and multimedia works
- runs on GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, iOS, Android and Windows
Netochka Nezvanova
translates appropriately as "nameless nobody"
- name itself is adopted from the main character of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's first novel Netochka Nezvanova (1849)
- stems from the complex and intricate online behaviour she displayed through her various identities on countless mailing lists and websites, by which she mesmerized and vexed internet users and the operators of her software products alike- the language used is interspersed and infiltrated with characters and computer metaphors
Ryoji Ikeda
Japanese sound artist
- his music is concerned primarily with sound in a variety of "raw" states, such as sine tones and noise, often using frequencies at the edges of the range of human hearing
> is highly imaginative, exploiting beat patterns and, at times, using a variety of discrete tones and noise to create the semblance of a drum machine
- work also encroaches on the world of ambient music; many tracks on his albums are concerned with slowly evolving soundscapes, with little or no sense of pulse
Live Coding
- programming practice centred upon the use of improvised interactive programming
> is often used to create sound and image based digital media, and is particularly prevalent in computer music, combining algorithmic composition with improvisation.
- the process of writing is made visible by projecting the computer screen in the audience space, with ways of visualizing the code in an area of active research
- techniques are also employed outside of performance, such as in producing sound for film or audio/visual work for interactive art installations
