1/1 FAR REACH.CONTACT: an interactive performance using the network of two performance spaces as a delay line.
Connected via audio and video live streaming, the Noiseborder Ensemble in Windsor, Canada (Brent Lee/Saxophone, Nick Papador/percussion, Trevor Pittman/clarinet, Sundar Subramanian/ guitar, Sigi Torinus/ visuals) and blackhole-factory (Martin Slawig/MAX/MSP) in Braunschweig, Germany performed together: the sound of the acoustic instruments was streamed to Germany, transformed there by live processing software and streamed back to Windsor and integrated back into the performance. The challenge was to work with a more or less 11 second network delay.
