Description

Das Modul beschäftig sich sowohl mit der Techniken, als auch mit den Performative Aspekten und Aufführungspraxis der Live Elektronik. Auf der Suche nach neuen und experimentellen Wege Musik zu kreieren und interpretieren möchten wir eine Arbeits- und Musikgruppe gründen die sich regelmässig trifft, mit den Ziel eine neue und innovative Art und Weise der Elektroakustische Musik zu präsentieren. Schwerpunkte:

• Angewandte Techniken der Live Elektronik
• Drahtlose Sensorik angewandt auf Klanggestaltung und Multikanal Performance
• Tangible User Interfaces
• Interaktion: Mensch/Maschine/Musik
• Physikalische Daten und Kommunikationswege
• Kartierung und Parametrisierung für die Klanggestaltung
• Aufführungspraxis

Die Arbeiten münden in verschiedenen Aufführungen während des Wintersemesters 2017/2018.

This module focuses on the technology, performance and production aspects of live electronics. Examining new and experimental ways to create and interpret music, we will be forming working groups that meet regularly with the goal of presenting new and innovation methods in electroacoustic music.

Core Themes:

• Applied techniques for working with live electronics
• Wireless sensor technology as applied to sound design and multichannel performance
• Tangible User Interfaces
• Interaction: Humans/Machines/Music
• Physical Data and Communications Systems
• Mapping and Parameterization for sound design
• Production Practice

The works created in this module will culminate in performance productions during the Winter Semester 2017/8.
