About
I C::ntr::l Nature is an univocal, synesthetic action of audiovisual improvisation, conceived and live performed by TheSAD (Marco Donnarumma).
The live act represents the sarcastic celebration of the human instinct finally able to govern the nature. The body gestures, the images and the sounds deconstruct the whole life cycle of the caterpillar, making the microscopic world of the butterfly become an immersive and surreal ambient, sometimes violent and compulsive.
This work is performed with an electric bass guitar and the custom-made software C::NTR::L, Human-Computer Interface for physical computing developed in Pure Data by the artist.
C::NTR::L is a tool for audiovisual live improvisation exploiting the physical computing technologies. It transforms your standard chord instrument - electric bass, guitar, violin, etc. - in an audiovideo controller without exploiting a specific external hardware or MIDI technology. C::NTR::L is Plug&Play. Once you connected the instrument to the sound card of your computer, C::NTR::L starts to recognize which notes you play. This is possible trought a complex structure of band pass/low pass/hi pass filters which automatically separate the core frequency of the incoming audio signal. Then C::NTR::L analyzes the duration and the RMS of each single note and finally translates this data in order to control and trigger a set of audiovideo effects.
