ensemble lite

Long time no blog!

Following the successful full installation of ensemble at The Scottish Book Trust in March, I have to report that a smaller, more portable version was developed with a view to carting it off to festivals. The first opportunity came in the form of New Craft - Future Voices, an international conference in Dundee, Scotland, in July this year. A fantastic curatorial and exhibition team made this as pain free as possible, and a multitude of techno-craft projects and objects were brilliantly displayed. Thanks to all involved once again. Extended abstracts for the exhibition proposals can be found in the proceedings published by Duncan of Jordanstone and available online from Lulu. Go their web page and choose to preview the books.

ensemble lite, if you like, comprised two working nodes and two spot speakers, allowing gallery staff to maintain the installation, and simplifying the acoustic feedback for audience participants. I was able to transport the whole shebang in the back of the car by myself, and with instruction from Vangelis, was able to set up the Max interaction parameters to suit the space.
