I’ve written a few posts already in projects unedited

I decided to move the writing about my MA onto degrees unedited in the run up to September when my course finishes.

I’m currently working on translating the distribution of chewing gum outside the PR1 Gallery into music.

Over the last few months I’ve been photgraphing all the paving slabs to create a detailed aerial view of the space so that I could precisely map the position of all chewing gum splats.

Through discussions with Dan Wilkinson who is a tutor on the music production course at UCLAN the piece has developed from being a compositon to be played on automatic piano into an interactive sound installation.

The plan is to use the x,y coordinates of each piece of gum along with either xbox kinect sensors or an infra red network. If all goes well, and its looking increasingly like a lot of work and testing, then as the audience moves around the space they will trigger samples (currently working on what they will be of) related to where they are which will play from 4 speakers set in the corners of the space.
