PERFORMANCE "CUBIE"
Cubie is a software instrument which provides innovative idea of musical performance, differs from existing musical performance system such as musical notation, DJ systems, DAW systems, etc... It has a novel concept incorporating a new interactive technique based on puzzle games. Music is represented from highly saturated colored letters on a 3D cube. Almost unlimited number of melodies and
rhythms can be created from a combination of those letters, and it can be changed on real-time by operations based on puzzle game. Those playful operations push a performer to play repeatedly and get the skill of performing with Cubie. Cubie is free software and you can play just like sadmb do.

HIROSHI MATOBA [JAPAN]
PERFORMANCE "OVERBUG"
http://www.dominofactory.net/Overbug

PERFORMANCE "Overbug"
Overbug is a music-performance tool designed to compose Minimal and Dance Music.
Through looping and newly arranging sound patterns, called 'Bugsounds', the program creates complex, polyrhythmic sounds. Overbug differs from conventional linear controlled music sequencers, which arrange the sound into a linear timeline from left to right. In Overbug the sound arrangement of the repeating music loops is equal to the visual abstraction of circular actions which built the interface through circles.

NOBU [JAPON]
PERFORMANCE " efffaeede"

PERFORMANCE "efffaeede"
This artwork is audio visual live performance with video feedback.
This title "efffaeede" comes from eff + feed + fade. Eff means effect, feed means feedback, and fade means fade in or out. Performer makes feedback images Digital video camera.
The video feedback images are generated with digital video camera and LCD display. Using software on laptop PC between camera and display, performer can change some parameter and make sound from images. The change of images based on fractal and gradual approach become much more complicated and unpredictable by the effect of software and performance's directly approach. Main concept of this artwork is that transmuting a phenomenon into big one.

INSTALLATION "DENKI DOMINO"

INSTALLATION "DENKI DOMINO"
DENKI DOMINO is a new composition system for visual and audio sequences.
"DENKI ("d‹C)" means "electric". DENKI DOMINO is small boxes implemented LEDs,light detector, micro computer, and small speaker. Each DOMINO reacts to the light. When DOMINO receives the light, it makes a small sound from itself and turn on its led light. Each DOMINO is just a box which make a sound and light, but when we put it like a "domino toppling", the sequence of sound and light happen to be generated. In addition, we can make a musical loop by putting DOMINO as circular layout. DENKI DOMINO enabled us to grab the sound by hand, put or pile
on floor like a musical score and play in real time at real space.
