01010 is an interactive performance piece created by Zach Poff and me with long-time collaborator, poet and multi-instrumentalist D.M.Ingalls.
Using a modified video tracking instrument first developed for the MAP Intermedia performance piece Variatsioonid, the sounds of percussion and spoken words are transformed in realtime via the activity being monitored. The performance becomes an improvised conversation between the performer and the performance itself as the physical gestures of music-making generate the audio processing which then in turn feeds the performer.
The audio clip here is an excerpt from the performance at the 2004 Without Borders Contemporary Arts Festival in Orono, Maine.
