Found Sound

Accidental music is beautiful as well.

Road Movie / Ocular Harpsichord


Link

For this project, I used some video that Brett and I shot when we were driving from out to California several years ago. I wrote the music to go along with it, and the process seemed to fix the memories in a new way.

Most of the audio was composed beforehand, but the video was performed live using a patch written in Puredata and Gem.

This is really documentation of an ephemeral project, as opposed to a document in itself. The project culminated as a performance where I mixed the video live using the midi keyboard seen in the opening frames; I also hooked my rig up to a small television and made viewers crowd around it instead of using a larger projection screen. As you can imagine, the result was quite different experience than the one you see here.
