The Colours of A Woodenflute
audiovisual realtime processing improvisation for bass-recorder and computer system


Se-Lien Chuang: composition, bass recorder, interactive visuals, Max/MSP/Jitter
Andreas Weixler: composition, multichannel real time granular synthesis, Max/MSP/Jitter

This is the newest concept of an algorithmic composition/improvisation with the audiovisual interactive computer system created by Andreas Weixler and Se-Lien Chuang in the graphical programming environment Max Msp Jitter. Instruments are played in the style of contemporary composition/improvisation, in this case a bass recorder, which is a wooden flute with a low register, contemporary playing techniques like multiphonics and a smooth, warm sound.
The computer system consists of a pitch and dynamic detection, real-time visual processes and a live multi-channel granular synthesis with advanced controlling and performing methods. All computing devices, the audio detection, the visual and the audio processing are linked via a wireless Lan to reciprocally influence each other.
