Seeing music at NMM 2009

We are performing a live set on this years New Media Meeting. The live set is part of a concept that we call “Seeing music” and is a continuation on a theme that we recently explored with our project Lights. This is the description from the NMM-site:

“Electronic music performed live on laptops often lack the connection between action and output that is obvious with more traditional instruments. This is one reason why electronic music performances often miss out on the live feeling to it. Frustrated by this shortcoming Physical Interaction Lab has in their recent projects explored ways to make live settings of electronic music more engaging to the audience. The results of two projects will be demonstrated as a performance exemplifying how artists can create more engaging shows by using controllers supplying feedback to the audience. Exploring light and gestures, the performance adds another dimension to the minimalistic and secluding laptop rigs governing the scene.”

NMM is an annual international media art festival, that takes place in Norrköping, Sweden. We have been attending the festival the last two years, both as visitors and exhibitors. We have always had a real blast, and I'm certain we will this year as well. This years festival has been put forward to spring, and takes place between 28th to 30th of May. If you're into new media art, interaction design and music, book your trip to Norrköping. Hope to see you there!
