Digital Musical Instruments: Design & Performance

What would you play if your musical instrument could produce any imaginable sound? D. Andrew Stewart explores new ways of making music with unique sensor-based control surfaces known as digital musical instruments. Stewart will be demonstrating and performing excerpts of “T-Stick” music that he has commissioned from composers in Canada and The USA, in addition to presenting selections from his own completed works.

D. Andrew Stewart is a composer, pianist and digital musical instrumentalist. His practice centers around three areas: combining acoustic instrument and digital instrument composition, establishing performance practices for digital instruments and developing class curricula for teaching in the area of music technology

Ambient A/V performances Little Oak Animal and Nick Kuepfer


Dates:
Sat Nov 23, 2013 20:00 - Sat Nov 23, 2013

Location:
Toronto, Canada

Little Oak Animal is an audio/visual collaboration between Toronto artists Rob Cruickshank and Dafydd Hughes. Their performances combine seemingly disparate elements - computer-generated sound and visuals projected from slides and Super-8 films - into an organic whole where each element in turn leads the other through a quiet narrative. The Anonymous Report by Nick Kuepfer is a collection of edited field recordings and minimalist compositions gathered in the remote terrain of Svalbard, processed and manipulated live through multiple 1/4" reel to reels.

Many audio mappings of places have been heard because of NAISA's theme of Sonic Geography for its 2013 programming year but this performance provides two audio-visual mappings. The first is a videomusic work "Nord/Sud" by Thierry Gauthier that takes the audience through Costa Rica, Mexico and Québec and the second "Boblo Island Soundmap" by Andrew O’Connor is a multi-media adaptation of "Boblo" a theatre work based on Boblo Island located at the mouth of the Detroit River.
