The Heart of Tones
composer: Pauline Oliveros (aka free noyes)
The Heart of Tones for SL-RL
This piece was
originally composed for trombone and two oscillators, and commissioned
by Abbie
Conant and her Wired Goddess Project during her residency at Mills
College in
the Fall of 1999. The premiere of the piece was done at Mills College.
This is an
ensemble version of the piece adapted for SL-RL.
A tone is minutely
explored in the smallest possible increments on, above and below the
prescribed
pitch, through the smallest timbre variations and spatial locations by
three or
more instruments. The pitch variations are never more than a half step
away
from the given pitch. The resultant beats, timbral shifts and audio
illusions
create rhythms, transformations and textures of depth. That focuses on
acoustic
beating caused by tones that are played very close together. The focus
is on
listening to the beat frequencies and the overtones that result. The
musicians
decide independently and intuitively on the variations.

Double_skin
composer: Nathalie Fougeras (aka ida aabye)
interactive performance & play with avatars
This project will use an interactive interface which i'll perform with
my body in relation with avatars in SL including layers of views like
image of my body, sounds, live video by digital compositing with SL
avatars.
For sounds i will work with recorded voices of the members of AOM in
order to write a sketch with samples and talks for a live mixing of
this material during performance.
I'm working around ideas of loops and different textures of voices, I'm
asking questions about textures and also speaks about this illusion of
texture too...
Double_skin is divided in two steps of development:
- first step is to build a HUD with a scenario and play with this HUD
- second step is to elaborate an interactive performance with this HUD
transformed thus with body and avatars
