Full house for Particle Zoo

2010-12-05T14:35:00.000-08:00

Particle Zoo is an interactive piece for one percussionist (Nicholas Papador) and two laptop performers (Brent Lee & Sigi Torinus). The work explores ideas of scale and the perception of time sonically and visually. Both laptops use MaxMSP/Jitter to process live sound and video, to map gestures from the sonic into the visual realm, and to mix a variety of sounds and images relating to the central concept. Much of the visual material is derived from electron microscope images of instruments used in the performance. The video features a series of brief excerpts from the piece. (camera: Kevin Peiffer)
