Strike on Stage: a Percussion and Media Performance

Charles Martin, and Chi-Hsia Lai

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract:

This paper describes Strike on Stage, an interface and corresponding audio-visual performance work developed and performed in 2010 by percussionists and media artists Chi-Hsia Lai and Charles Martin. The concept of Strike on Stage is to integrate computer visuals and sound into animprovised percussion performance. A large projection surface is positioned directly behind the performers, while acomputer vision system tracks their movements. The setup allows computer visualisation and sonification to be directly responsive and unified with the performers' gestures.
