THE FIGURE AND IT'S DANCE (continuous experiment of Quad 1)
Concept
This project explores Samuel Becketts 1981 televised play 'Quad 1' using Max MSP to further investigate the correlation between colour and percussion. One, then two, then three, then four figures create a sequence, each describing half or part of a Quad (an abbreviation for Quadrangle). The play is seen as one of Becketts most formal works, having produced multiple interpretations on what exactly it means. An example is in an Article by Baylee Brits called 'Ritual, Code, and Matheme in Samuel Beckett's Quad' she states that "Quad, brings together the representional conventions of ritual, computational code and matheme" [1]
