ensemble – transposition

for hand made machines and electronics

During The Centre for the Less Good Idea’s third season in 2018, curated by Lindiwe Matshikiza, Bettina Malcomess and Bhavisha Panchia, I experimented with transposing or mapping elements of scores onto different types of movement, including human body, self playing drum kit and modular synthesiser. Events on a timeline were transformed into control voltages and pulses, with randomness inserted.

Performers include Mele Broomes, Lindiwe Matshikiza, Nathaniel Sheppard III, Simnikiwe Buhlungu, Chad Cordeiro, Naty Kaly, Temandrota, Andrei van Wyk, Gretchen Blegen, modular synthesizer and automated drum kit.
