a collaboration with composer Yannis Kyriakides for the BIG NOISE tour with the Icebreaker and Volharding orchestras. 4 composers and 4 video artists were invited to create a composition each, and the 4 different works are performed live by the orchestra and the video artists.
The other collaborations were composer Joe Cutler and video artist Jaap Drupsteen, Cornelius de Bondt and Tom Hadley, Diderik Wagenaar and Stuart Warren Hill.
The first leg of the tour was in England, starting with a performance at Queen Elisabeth Hall in London, then Brighton, Manchester, Coventry and Huddersfield.
The second leg of the tour was in Holland in mid janurary 2004, in Amsterdam (Paradiso),Arnhem,Rotterdam (De Doelen),Eschede and Utrecht (MC Vredenburg).
In february 2005 Lab Fly Dreams was remade for 1 percussionist (Claire Edwards), electronics and video and shown in the main space at Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, as part of Transmediale05.
Kyriakides and myself created our piece based on speculations that fruitflies might dream during their short lifespan, and we were wondering what they would dream about.
Most of my material for this piece is based on found footage from research on the fruitfly, and is performed live using a program created in the max/jitter/softvns/auvi environment.
