I will be working with Sha Xin Wei and Clarinda Mac Low on Friday to realize a somewhat impromptu participatory performance ‘in’ responsive media. I will be processing realtime audio from the room and re-projecting it through a 4-channel surround system. (Thanks to Navid Navab for granular + spatialization patches.)

Produced in partnership with Roulette’s Mixology Festival, the 2009 Harvestworks Inside performance series presents “Gestures and Responsive Media”, three concert programs focusing on modern experiments in performance technology. Central to this series is the exciting way that live performers are exploring the use of gesture to control computers and building technological environments for free, improvisatory play. From Pamela Z’s gesture-based vocal experiments to Sha Xin Wei’s phenomenological experiments with movement and media, the presenting artists not only expand the boundaries of traditional performance and instrumentation, but also humanize electronics through creative means.
Thursday May 14 – Pamela Z / Elliott Sharp
Friday May 15 – Zach Layton / Sha Xin Wei
Saturday May 16 – Sawako / Bill Hsu & James Fei
