music for a distributed ensemble & wearable computers
The core idea behind the work is a strategy of mobility by employing a wearable computer system running a software based electronic scoring system. The score allows for ‘composed improvisation’ that is improvisational elements within a compositional structure. This is done by electronically monitoring the performer’s physical position in space using universal inputs such as geographical positions obtained via satellites and sensors using the earth’s magnetic field. These are used to guide the score program in making suggestions to the performer to various degrees and at various times. The contents of the score are thereby linked directly to the movements of the performer, thus creating a unique choreographic metaphor of sound dispersing in space. Compositional quantities and qualities are based on spatial mobility and intensity of form being defined by changes in timbre, rhythmic modulations and distribution of sound. There are two version of the work: One version is for closed performance spaces and uses a GPS simulator to virtually walk through the city without leaving the performance space; the other version uses satellites as a globally embedded sensor environment. Both versions network the performers in such a manner that the electronic scoring becomes self-regulating, or truly ‚ubiquitous’ so that the performers are ‚hands free’ and able to react to ensemble members and to interact with the performance space.
