Project: Soundwalking Interactions

Soundwalking Interactions (6:16) "This project investigates how people listen during soundwalk activities and artworks. This video documents the process and performance for a presentation at the Society Of Dance History Scholars Conference 2011.

This creative process began with the 7 members of the team participating in a soundwalk together and recording it. Next the team reviewed the recording as a group to identify interesting segments of sound which were then extracted out of the overall sound recording creating a series of shorter clips. These clips were placed in the interactive space to be manipulated by dancer movement. The choreographer then worked with the dancers to create a piece.

Dancers manipulate sound through motion tracking of gestures. Visualizations of transcoding are projected on a screen in the space."  Source: YouTube
