Sonofusion: for Overtone Violin

April 21, 2006 CREATE concert:Santa Barbara, California

Performed by Dan Overholt, Overtone Violin

Sonofusion is an interactive audio-visual piece for the Overtone Violin. The Overtone Violin is an entirely custom built, radically augmented musical instrument that preserves the traditions of violin technique while adding a whole new set of possibilities for the musician. In this piece, the instrument interactively manipulates audio, video, and three-dimensional graphics. The performer journeys through a series of virtual spaces, each with their own set of underlying processes which the performer controls through gesture and sound.

Defendex Picture

 

The DEFENDEX-ESPGX is an interactive art object that combines real-time audio and video synthesis processing with physical interaction. The DEFENDEX-ESPGX is designed to simulate the look and feel of 1950?s technology. The content draws on nostalgic reference to bring about implied comparisons between the fearful culture of the Cold War and the culture of fear associated with the current War on Terror.


DEFENDEX-ESPGX is a collaborative effort between MarkDavid Hosale and John Thompson.

 

Particular Gravity (Audiovisual / Generative)

In this work, particle sound synthesis is explored in a system that imitates a black hole. Here the sound artist is offered the opportunity to explore sound and image in the midst of a dynamic system. Since the parametric space is very large, an algorithm was created to explore designated parametric points interpolate between, creating a generative element to the system.
