After our presentation, we realize that since the dancers joining us next semester will play a major role in developing this, the most effective use of our time is to perfect our technical systems and issues. The critique/feedback we received from our midterm presentations consisted of questions mostly regarding the audience interactivity. Hence, our next steps are to set the concept/narrative aside (this may change majorly come next semester) and spend our efforts refining the tech system as best as we can.
On that note, Nicolas delegated roles for each of us in terms of technical implementation and prototype developing.
Nicolas: Audio and controller data interpretation (Max/MSP, Audio Units, Logic, Pro)
Nadya: Lights (Max/MSP)
Amit: Midi controllers for audiences (Processing, Max/MSP) - developing a controller that outputs a midi/OSC signal with a slider. Basic chip with connections.
Francesca, Alannah, Kitty: Visual Backdrop (Isadora) - Isadora patch that receives a numeric signal with specific range. This will be used in the patch to 'distort' the image. Input signal from OSC to control distortions.
Onward!
