Kousei MURATA solo performance "Motion"
The aim of this concert was to present a new relationship between electronics (computer-generated music) and the act of performing. Using a sensor module, the sounds and movements of performers come back in real time as sound, video and laser system effects.
The creative focus of this project was to present the real-time relationship between a performer’s movement and sound; and given the event’s emphasis on visual expression, a record of the performance has been released as a video.
