Paisajes Oníricos / Dreamscapes

Paisajes Oníricos / Dreamscapes for open instrumentation and virtual conductor. Performed by Popebama, Erin Rogers (saxophone) and Dennis Sullivan (percussion, electronics), and myself as the virtual conductor.

The piece reflects on the traditional representation of graphic scores as drawings on a two-dimensional plane. The piece expands on this notion by allocating the graphical elements in a 3D virtual environment. These elements acquire volume and mass, in addition to the incorporation of a spatio-temporal dimension that is controlled by a virtual conductor using a mouse and keyboard.

This is a solo rendering of the piece that uses a custom digital musical instrument built in Max/MSP, glitched visuals made in Hydra, and is performed live with an APC 40 MIDI controller.
