GMU:Max and I, Max and Me/Fionn McErlean

Idea:

I want to explore Samuel Becketts 1981 televised play 'Quad' which consists of four actors in the colours red, blue, white and yellow fixed in a loop. Each actor is accompanied by a sound, which creates no rhythm or melody. The actors walk in sync, and are bound together by invisible lines.

To do this:

Explore ways to make the bodies movement trigger sounds (different sound for each person) I have seen people use a Kinect 2 running with MaxMSP to accomplish this.

I will also need to find a space to do this....

Interesting Work:

Student Felix Geith piece 'Soundscape Installation' sets to enhance augmented sounds which are present within the environment to begin with aka (Bedroom). Investigating the spatialisation of sounds.
