Presence at NIME 2022

 

 

Visda Goudarzi and Anna Xambó jave presented a paper and a performance at the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression 2022 (NIME 2022, 28 June - 1 July), which has been virtually held at Waipapa Taumata Rau, Aotearoa / The University of Auckland, New Zealand.

The short paper “The Mobile Audience as a Digital Musical Persona in Telematic Performance” discusses a self-built mobile web app, personic, designed for distributed audiences to constitute a digital musical instrument. It can be read at De Montfort Open Research Archive (DORA): https://dora.dmu.ac.uk/handle/2086/22012

The performance “Ear to Waipapa Taumata Rau” is a live-coding performance by performers from two different continents remotely exploring the sonic components of Waipapa Taumata Rau. It can be watched on YouTube. The performance paper is available at DORA: https://dora.dmu.ac.uk/handle/2086/22071.

Free Online NIME2022 Performance Premiere

Livestream : https://www.twitch.tv/gvisda

 ‘Ear to Waipapa Taumata Rau’ is a live-coding performance by performers from two different continents remotely exploring the sonic components of the location of the NIME2022 conference - Waipapa Taumata Rau. The improvised performance is based on processing sound generated by crowdsourced field recordings from Waipapa Taumata Rau from Freesound.org. The piece is a premiere for NIME2022 and a free interpretation of John Cage’s ‘A Dip in the Lake’. The defining feature of this piece is although the conference participants, listeners and performers are globally distributed, by listening and contributing to the whole composition they could feel in location by their ears. The audience can also interact with the piece live visually and sonically on their mobile devices.

Gerard Roma investigates the inner life of sounds by poking at computers and other electronic circuits. His work often involves digital transformation of recorded sound textures coerced into algorithmic forms via live coding and self-made audio-visual instruments.
