Vice Versa
Live Performance
In this set-up we combine two transformations. Music is transformed
into video, manipulated and projected onto a screen: rhythmic white
stripes migrate across the screen, depending on the sound in shape
and speed. The video image is then recaptured live and re-transformed
into sound again. The literally reproduced music is
still recognizable but bears new qualities. With this acoustic-visual
feedback the physical states of music are changed in real-time and
brought to ears and eyes. Manipulation of the video signal involves
strobe and layering and also focusing and zooming with a camera.
We use either selected music as acoustic source or work together
with live musicians who then additionally react on and control the
visual feedback.
