Diastema for the time floating between the networked remote places

Mikako Mizuno, and Yoshihisa Suzuki

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

In the first performance of this piece, two pianos were set in two different buildings and were connected through network. One piano was tuned in 440hz and the other in 442hz. MIDI signals were sent on OSC and the Disklavier was interactively played by the pianist’s performance. Audio information was transmitted through DANTE in order to get high-speed response. "Diastema Ⅱ”is performed in two remote places. The two places are audio-visually connected. Because of several layers of latency (LAN, audio processing, hardware transmission, etc.), the audience will not only see the time difference between the two but also hear the tuning difference between the instruments. Interval of the pitches, separation of the places and time difference are the three dimension of the piece. The audience can see and hear all the three dimensions from an objective point.
