Electundra is an annual festival of live experimental audiovisual performances. It was held at Loop, Melbourne, Australia from Sunday 12th of June through to Wednesday 15th, so I’m a little late in promoting it! Since last year the festival has grown from two to four nights and featured around 40 artists performing. It was great to see the range of visual styles and techniques represented from live camera switching and physical object manipulation to computer based performances.
I went with the latter option for my own set, performing visuals with Quartz Composer on one laptop whilst running Ableton Live on another laptop for sound, collaborating with Doktorb Robotnik (Adrian Lucas) on feedback electronics. I knew that doing two things at once was going to be quite a challenge so I developed a visual patch which used live audio input to modulate and manipulate images in a number of ways - see this post for a simplified version of my setup. Hopefully this gave the imagery a ‘liveness’ and ‘directness’ which meant that it wasn’t too obvious when I was focussing my whole attention on what I was doing with the audio side of things.
