Impressions of the Pagodas

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract

“Drawing sound” has been a poetic idea that encouraging artists and musicians exploring intermedia expressions via real-time performance forces through data-driven instruments. Creating mutating mapping algorithms that connects performative actions with the music continuity and different visuals is one of the imaginative attempts in this composition and performance. Pagoda as a piece of architecture reflects history, aesthetics, religion, philosophy among many other cultural elements. Pagoda as a concept reminds me of each unique yet contemplative journey visiting different temples. The rituals of recitation and chanting practice in the temples offer the observers interfaces connecting themselves and the surroundings in different ways. In this piece, the impressions of the three pagodas are depicted in different audiovisual approaches through the real-time interactive performance.
