I’ve been thinking about autonomous or AI-controlled spatialization. And designing systems that control the movement of audio sources in space automatically, based on the parameters of the sound system, perhaps even based on the parameters of the room itself. For some reason I imagined applying social distancing principles to the sound sources, so that they…
Art’s Birthday reflections
Mixdown musings My thoughts on our project for Art’s Birthday. On January 17, we will be presenting some of our work on the radio. For this, we have decided to each take some of the materials we have already created/generated, and create a sort of mash-up, so to speak. Essentially one person would take the…
Canon Experiments
Creation of the score One experiment I want to conduct that relates to the double bass and the intervals is to create an electronic piece that uses the same pitches, but going up to much higher harmonics. This will allow two things: 1) an expanded possibility of pitches, and 2) precision of tuning and steadiness…
Canon Feedback
Reflection on the self project and further developments The self project I completed was an interesting exercise, but after playing around with parameters, the artistic result was not interesting. After hearing the projects of others, and synthesizing ideas from discussions on performer autonomy and system feedback, I have decided to pursue the concept of autonomie…
Object and agent
What is the barrier between object and agent? Double bass not performed on, but enacted upon Where is the autonomy of the self, of the double bass? Create a system, a loop, a feedback, between the double bass, the agents, and some kind of exciter How does the exciter interact with the agents? Do they…
Self
Autonomie Project 1 – self Begin with the smallest possible impulse An identity A single sound The sound is processed The processed is processed The processed sound becomes the self Again A new identity
