- Abstract
- schíma morphe íchos [shape, form, sound] (SMI) is a reactive performance that brings together sound with visual and physical structures to explore ways of coping with a changing environment. Sculptures made by artist Eleni-Ira Panourgia are digitally augmented by a 9DOF sensing system crafted by Martin Parker. Connected together via a router and sending movement data to sound-generating, ambisonic-enabled software, the work becomes at once a system, an instrument and a sound performance. In this work, sounds recorded while making the sculptures are transformed and combined with various sound processing systems. These expose multiple sound manipulation parameters that are modulated as the sculptures are moved around. SMI creates a highly... (More)

In this work, sounds recorded while making the sculptures are transformed and combined with various sound processing systems. These expose multiple sound manipulation parameters that are modulated as the sculptures are moved around. SMI creates a highly dynamic environment in which spatial sound synthesis depends directly on sculptural objects, physical material properties, and the way they are handled by performers and audiences. Sculptures become an instrument to be explored and learned. For ICMC we present SMI with sculptures made from textiles. Sounds collected from the surfaces of this material during the making process are the sources manipulated and transposed specially for this performance. Towards the end of the performance, audience members are invited to join the performers in exploring the instrument. (Less)
