Ensemble Metatone: Research Rehearsal 2013-05-04, Set 1

Abstract

This free-improvised musical work was performed by Ensemble Metatone in May 2013 at the Australian National University. It was part of a series of rehearsals-as-research arranged to investigate percussive interactions with touch-screen computer music instruments developed by Charles Martin.

These performances were recorded with multiple channels of audio and video. Touch-screen data from the computer music instruments was also recorded and animated to help understand the performers’ touch gestures throughout the performance.
