TRANSFIGURED TUBE

ABOUT THE PROJECT

.... The bass clarinet can produce sounds of extreme diversity, but what is even more surprising is the ability of the instrumentalist to switch from one type of sound to another in a continuous and organic way. This power of transfiguration was the driving element of this creation. In response, electronic sounds and video are continually changing using interpolation and morphing techniques.

Verklärter Rohr is divided into 4 parts: Wandering - Introspection - Shivers & Trembling - Exaltation. Each explores a different poetry of this human-machine relationship through multiple sonic and visual states. The images are all phantasmagoria of the clarinet and develop a metaphor for it.

.. 

L’œuvre de 23 minutes pour clarinette basse et dispositif audiovisuel génératif explore le dialogue entre un être humain sensible et spontané, et sa transfiguration numérique via divers logiciels développés par Jullian Hoff. Le système génère des sons électroniques et de la vidéo en temps réel en réponse au jeu de Charlotte Layec qui réagi a son tour à la production du dispositif numérique, cela crée une boucle de rétroactions entre l'humain et la machine.

La clarinette basse peut produire des sons d'une extrême diversité mais ce qui est plus étonnant encore, c'est la capacité de l'instrumentiste à passer d'un type de sonorité à l'autre de façon continue et organique. Ce pouvoir de transfiguration a été l'élément conducteur de cette création. En réponse à cela, les sons électroniques et la vidéo se transforment continuellement en utilisant des techniques d'interpolation et de morphing.

Verklärter Rohr se divise en 4 parties: Errance – Introspection – Frissons & Tremblements – Exaltation. Chacune explore une poésie différente de cette relation humain-machine à travers de multiples états sonores et visuels. Les images sont toutes des fantasmagories de la clarinette et développent une métaphore de celle-ci.

 

Description EN

The 23-minute work for bass clarinet and generative audiovisual device explores the dialogue between a sensitive and spontaneous human being, and its digital transfiguration via various software developed by Jullian Hoff. The system generates real-time electronic sounds and video in response to Charlotte Layec's game, which in turn reacts to the production of the digital device, creating a feedback loop between the human and the machine.

SURVEILLANCE

This is a live a/v performance-installation project that uses surveillance equipment to stream audio and video feeds from the performance environment. Live footage is gathered from microphones and surveillance camera's around the space. The footage undergoes some processing and is simultaneously fed-back through loudspeakers and screens. The work depends heavily on the acoustic, light and movement properties of the environment to shape its composition. For example, sounds from people, or room room resonances become amplified, effected and are carried back to their sources. Upon awareness, the sources may behave differently. The works perception depends on the environment in which it is set up. This is where the performance aspect comes in. The performer guides the work through its interplay with the environment by adjusting the sound and video processing parameters.
