Counterlines
Javier Sánchez, Jarosław Kapuściński · 2010
This paper describes three introductory studies for an intermedia performance Counterlines - a duet for Disklavier and Wacom Cintiq, in which both performers generate audiovisual materials that relate to each other contrapuntally. In the described studies the pianist generates graphic lines while playing music and the graphic performer generates piano lines by drawing. To reinforce the clarity of relationships between visual contours all graphic elements are projected on a single screen. The paper discusses our approach to audio-visual interfacing and intermedia composition.
