M-brana (2009)
for percussion, double bass and live electronics based on instrumental motion capture
The principal idea of this piece was to create a new relationship between live instruments and electronics that primarily used motion capture (through the use of accelerometers) in direct relation to a specific physical control model - MSD (Mass Spring Damper). For example, by capturing gestures such as a percussion strike, or a bow movement, the accelerometers can simultaneously excite virtual physical models (membranes and strings objects) at different points of the structure. From this point of initial capture characteristics of virtual physical models become the commencement point for the generation of new musical materials and control parameters such as treatments, synthesis, sampling and real time spatialization.
