"For
my degree show I got hold of loads of transcripts of recordings
from Black box recorders from crashed airplanes and so we took
these scripts and recreated them so everyone had parts and then
we recorded them all and messed them up using various filters
to make it sound like you'd expect them to sound like. They were
just tragic, things like somebody saying; 'hey look I can do
a loop!' then that being the end of the recording. I did it in
the foyer of an office building and deliberately not in a gallery.
A few people really liked it but most were upset. I must admit
it did scare me when people liked it. I had some people who said
they really identified with it, in particular a Vietnam veteran
who stayed abit too long" Nullpointer http://www.nullpointer.co.uk

been working together since art school. Last thing we did together
was the opening of the FACT centre in Liverpool" Jonny

AKA Tom Betts performing with Jonny Picher [synthesizer,
drums etc.]
Nullpointer
mixes generative composition and synthesis, using the Pure
Data DSP system, utilising a number of live triggers to manipulate
and direct the composition which is then translated into
geometric visual forms. This creates a unique audio-visual
environment for each performance and forms a direct relationship
between realtime generation of sound and image. |
