NIME performance outline:
estimated length: 6 minutes
i’ll stand slightly to one side of the stage with my interface standing up on a stool or
table. my screen will be right next to me.
the video will start black. i’ll begin by playing one video layer without looping at a
low volume and gradually loudening it as i fade in the imagery. i’ll let the video play by
itself for a minute or two to give the audience a feeling of the piece, and then i’ll start
looping and manipulating that layer, and shortly thereafter i’ll begin fading in the second
layer of video.
the structure in terms of tempo and musicality will be a palindrome of sorts. it’ll start
soft and dark, build to a peak, and then fade back to darkness and no sound.
