Here I will be posting the process of creating, rehearsing, performing and refining KVSwalk, for the ORCiM ensemble. The piece will be premiered during the ORCiM festival 2010, on September 16, at the Orpheus Institute in Gent. Preliminary study versions (Solos) have been performed and are scheduled to be performed during the summer 2010.
KVSwalk @ SMC 2010

Here is the proposal for the 2010 edition of the SMC Conference. The proposal was accepted and a new version of KVSwalk_SOLO, using the Reactable as controller and generator will be performed on July 23, 2010.
SMC conference Application
KVSwalk_SOLO
for solo computer performer and multichannel audio system.
1. Definition of Specific research output.
2. Planning of the methodology.
3. CD contents
1. KVSwalk_SOLO aims to research the possibilities and limitations of physicality and embodied musicality in computer music performance. The musical structure is centered around the metaphoric imaginary, as well as sonic derivatives of the Karman Vortex Street phenomena. For its ensemble version, a set of 'high-order parameters' were defined for each performer, favoring timbre variation and texture density control over pitch and articulation variety.
2. For the solo computer version of KVSwalk, the prime requirement is a physical controller that is capable of capturing at least 4 continuous-control signals, coupled to 4 synthesis engines and 4 discrete audio outputs. Ideally, the time and voice structure calls for 5 high resolution physical controllers (ultrasound, pressure, thermic), 5 synthesis engines, routed to 5 filtering engines, circular motion spatial distribution system and a 5.1 audio output setup.
Estimated duration of the piece: 8-10 minutes.
I believe that the Reactable system would be a prime tool to realize a version of the piece. otherwise, a gesture controlled designed by the composer and developed at the Institute of Sonology of the Royal Conservatory in The Hague and the original software for the piece can be provided.
KVSwalk_SOLO is a solo computer version of a piece commissioned by the Orpheus Institute in Gent and the International Music Council to be premiered by the ORCiM ensemble and musicians of the CCRMA in Stanford during the Orpheus Research Centre in Music Festival on September 16, 2010.
3. About the examples of my work:
01 Tellura (2004) residence prize of the Bourges Electroacoustic Music Competition
stereo soundtrack.
02 GeoAves, for Bassette Recorder and Computer, performed at ICMC 2009.
performed by Terri Hron, recorder, Juan Parra C, computer
03 PLP_I for electric violin and computer, Premiered at SMC 2009,
performed by Mieko Tanno, electric violin and Juan Parra C, computer.
