MUTATION (2002/2008)
Chikashi Miyama

'Mutation' belongs to the beginnings of interactive programming between sound and image and draws on the DIPS (Digital Image Processing with Sound) project. DIPS was born at the end of the last century at the Sonology Department, Kunitachi College of Music. In addition to Miyama, who will continue his work in Europe and the United States, Takayuki Rai, Shu Matsuda (promoter of the project), Takayuki Hamano, Takuto Fukuda, Takuto Fukuda will work in the DIPS group. The point of convergence was the integration between the MaxMSP software and the SGI graphics computers. Info: https://dips.kcm-sd.ac.jp/
'Mutation' brings together a series of extraordinary technologies, in relation to the time of its creation, of interactive sounds and images, dominated and shaped by the singular IT versatility of its Author. In addition to graphic and multidimensional objects, the very image of the performer, captured by the video camera, enters the circuit of events (virtual and real), in the very idea of theater and performance.


PERIODICO (2024)
Marco Giambra-Francesco Cuoghi
for guitar, live electronics, live video
'Periodico' combines the guitarist's performance with interaction with sound and visual media. Structured in acoustic fragments and visual fragments, it presents the labyrinth of details and differences from time to time: the movement, the breeze of the landscape, and the rhythm of the melodic sequences proceed in all their simplicity, essence and...fragility.
