| summary |
This paper describes Transducer, a prototype digital system for live, audio-visual performance. Currently the process of editing sounds or crafting three-dimensional structures on a computer remains a frustratingly rigid process. Current tools for real-time audio or visual construction using computers involve obtuse controls, either heavily GUI'ed or overstylized. Transducer asks one to envision a space where the process of editing and creating on a computer becomes a dynamic performance. The content of this performance may be sufficiently complex to elicit multiple interpretations, but Transducer enforces the notion that the process of creation should itself be a fluid and transparent expression. The system allows a performer to build constructions of sampled audio and computational three-dimensional form simultaneously. Each sound clip is visualized as a "playable" cylinder of sound that can be manipulated both visually and aurally in real-time. The transducer system demonstrates a creative space with equal design detailing at both the construction and performance phase. |
