Me & TC Helicon Singing Christmas Tunes

via Kenneth Elhardt on AH:

"Christmas related T.C. Helicon demos I several months back.

Short demo showing how to get a larger choir sound out of a T.C. Helicon Quintet being used like a vocoder.
http://home.att.net/~elhardt4/TCHelicon_RealtimeChoir.mp3

This demo was done monophonically overdubbing one voice at a time. 4 part polyphony, each part overdubbed 3 times for a total of 12 tracks/people.

An earlier test of my trying to sound like a boys choir, but do to not using compression there's a lot of unevenness, and it didn't turn out sounding like a big group. But since it's related to the Christmas season, what the hell.

Aman Amun - Scapegoating

This is documentation for an interactive-art piece I call the munome which I am using as the backbone of the Aman Amun performance.

It is meant to be a conceptual exploration of taking something that is open source (the monome) and making it even more flexible and open. The monome itself is only a grid of buttons, but this very simplicity also opens up room for almost endless functionality. For this piece I have virtualized this instrument in Max-Msp and added ways to dynamically control it both functionally and visually.

Note that this is only a small fraction of what the Aman Amun performance entails, but it illustrates some of the other ideas I am actively experimenting with. The performance seeks to explore the gradiated region that sits between "live performance," "djing" and "vjing." The monome is clearly an instrument, but the use of pre-recorded samples is very reminiscent of the practice of Djing rather than live performance. The active control of the visual display enters the realm of Vjing, but the visual information (as you will see more clearly in future documentation) is largely controlled by the music itself.

Technical Details:
The Munome is running MLR and tr256 alongside Reason for the drums sounds. I am using Johnney Lee's Wii Whiteboard to take the performance from behind the computer screen and place it out in front of the viewer.

I apologize for the video, audio, and performance quality. Expect more of all of the above in future documentation when time and equipment permits it. Thanks to midimeek, stretta, tehn, and the others of the monome community for helping make this possible. Thanks to Eric Marty and the others of the ARTX Dept. @ UGA for help with equipment and technical details. More to come.
