@c + Lia (Portugal / Austria) @c + Lia present a live generated audiovisual performance using computers as their instruments and sound and image programming that allow them to improvise over pre-defined composition structures.

"Lovebytes asked us to do the CD, that gave us a very welcome opportunity to work abit outside our usual medium. We either develop pieces for online media or develop performances so the pieces that normally get distributes are restrained to the online medium, the quality and information space. Here we can have banks of sounds, online that's impossible. If we create a piece specifically for exhibition that allows us to thing on a completely different scale and we may think of other interaction strategies for example physic, you can also thing about having the sound present in some other way and not being restrain to normal stereo sound but maybe working in 4, 6 10 channel audio whatever, giving a different temporal existence to the piece" Lia & Miguel Carvalhais


"I'm not sure whether you meant to watch them and make up your own stories or just appreciate the visuals, 'cos I like making my own stories"

"It was nice to see him doing his thing on the computer and it coming up on the screen. Taking something that isn't a performance and putting it in a performance space. The guy on the mic thing - was amazing cos he had a character, sound lends themselves more to characters and little images rather than squares and things."
