Abstract

This paper outlines the aims and technology behind an improvised performance combining electronic drums and piano with gestural control. The performance involves a gesturally-controlled audiovisual system drawing on ancillary, expressive or nonsound producing gestures of the pianist to apply digital signal processing to live audio inputs and pre-recorded samples. The work explores the notion of body as instrument, unconstrained by the physical properties of a tangible interface or screen-based controller. Interactive projections will provide feedback for the performer and audience to reinforce the coupling between movement and sound.
