Parallel Noise Construction Since 2009, I have applied the process of articulated noise to instrumental improvisation. This is implemented with Max patches on multiple computers connected on a local WiFi network, which generate correlated random instructions for each instrumentalist. The resulting noise-guided improvisation sequence is different for each performance. Parallel Noise Construction takes this process one step further by randomly generating both the instructions for instrumental improvisation and a randomly organized DSP configuration for each violinist.

FEATURING:

Pauline Kim Harris from STRING NOISE and guest violinist, composer ERIC LYON.
