This is day 4 and Dominique has a new hairstyle!
we now set up 3 computers running PD + nn~ in a same room. 2 of them are connected to a mixer, each going in as mono input coming out from big speakers. The 3rd one is connected to BOSE bluetooth speaker. it is small but quite loud and portable. With 3 of them in space, it starts to really feedback, to itself and also to affect each other’s loop. we also introduced zoom microphone to one of the computer, so it can pick up voices better and we can be away from the computer when using voice input to the computer.
5 June 2025: stop making sense
We’re arriving at a milestone of sound aesthetics. How does this inform movement?
Maybe a question: how does the sound affect how a body moves in the world?
Specific experiments:
We go back to the three qualities of choreographic sound (wobble, words, repetition), this time with three computers.
We also try:
- Speaking different languages
- Playing flute, gong, tunisian drum
- Singing with the drone repetition while moving.
We noticed that they all respond to sound differently. But sometimes they start to harmonise like a polyphonic choir they make me think of the Bunun singers of Taiwan.
Sometimes I carry the speaker from one to the other to see how this might transform the sound. There are moments when all three suddenly stopped.
