This is a preview of my new audio-visual composition for live performance, Cube with Magic Ribbons. The piece partly draws on the visual paradoxes of M.C.Escher but is also inspired by the impossible spaces found in the two dimensional graphics of early computer games such as Asteroids and Pacman. I created it using a custom visual sequencer, Sound Circuit, which I built in OpenFrameworks. The sound is from SuperCollider of course !

The performers simply go up and down the escalators in various combinations, but a video camera tracks their position, direction and speed which in turn triggers computer synthesised sounds. There are five possible modes of movement, stand on the up escalator, walk up the up escalator, stand on the down escalator, walk down the down escalator, and walk in…
Tecken, the Swedish word for symbol, is also an IKEA tea pot retailing at £6.99. According to Wikipedia, the store employs an elaborate system for the naming of its house hold goods; Bookcases are occupations, Bed covers are plants and precious stones, Carpets are Danish place names and so on. The word seemed an apt title for a piece in which sugar cubes are used to signify sounds which mysteriously morph in relation to the position and movement of…
The Freemasons - The Movie was filmed in a series of locations in London in December 2006. The composition is an algorithm, consisting of 8 rules, in which the various players move between roles of master, freeman, and serf. The players attempt to remain in the role of master but are often overthrown by unruly serfs. The performers in the film are Edward Anderton, Simon Katan, Sarah Scutt, Tom Shelton, Yukkiko Shinohara, and Reynaldo Young. Cinematography…
A puzzle built out of contemporary classical music. At first the music is all jumbled up but by standing in different squares of a grid you and your team members can change what the musicians are playing. Through using ears and cunning, you must arrange yourselves in the correct order and crack the code which will make all the musicians play the same music before time is up and the piece of music finishes.
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
