Abstract:

Program notes: An interactive audiovisual feedback loop forms the basis of All Hail the Dawn. The instrument contains two simple light-sensitive oscillators. A crude spectral analysis in Max/MSP is used to filter the oscillators as well as looped buffers recorded from the instrument. A matrix of the spectral analysis, interactively altered in Jitter using audio data, is projected back onto the instrument and performer as a series of shifting patterns. This setup allows both the graphics and sound to drive each other, creating an evolving audiovisual relationship sensitive to slight changes in position, sound or processing. About the performers: Alexander Dupuis: composer, performer, and multimedia artist. His work involves live electronics and guitar, real-time graphics and 3D animation, feedback systems and audiovisual installations. He graduated from Brown University in 2010, and is currently working towards his Masters Degree in the Digital Musics program at Dartmouth College.
