Abstract:

Program notes: The interactive electroacoustics in Jet Stream are created through the use of an underlying virtual model of a flute. This hybrid virtual instrument is controlled through parameters such as bore length, blow intensity, pressure, canal width, labium position. Lamorna's “real” flute sounds are analyzed with respect to tone color, volume envelopes, frequency and spectral content. These sonic gestures are then mapped to performance parameters for the computer's virtual flute sonification. Of course the virtual flute doesn't have to conform to the physical constraints of the “real-world”. About the performer: Jon Drummond is a Sydney based composer, sound artist, programmer, academic and researcher. His creative work spans the fields of instrumental music, electroacoustic, interactive, sound and new media arts. Jon's electroacoustic and interactive work has been presented widely including the International Computer Music Conferences (Denmark 1994, Canada 1995, Greece 1997, China 1999, Singapore 2003), Electrofringe, Totally Huge New Music Festival, Darwin International Guitar Festival and the Adelaide Festival of Arts. Jon is currently employed as a researcher at MARCS Auditory Laboratories, the University of Western Sydney.
