Get as much data from a single control as possible and use the data to drive a synthesis engine or digital audio munger you design in Max or Pd. Ideally, this will be a self-contained system written in Pd, hosted on a mobile device using either MobMuPlat or PdParty / PdDroidParty. However, we can discuss using other platforms / controller options if you do not have a mobile device capable of running either of these apps, or have a compelling reason for seeking out alternatives.
Once you have designed your instrument, meet with your group and devise a general plan for a short (10–15 min.) performance: who starts, how, when to end. Improvisation is fine, but aimless noodling maybe not so much. Make a beautiful experience, or make it punishing, it doesn’t matter, just make it meaningful.
Give us a reason not to walk out of the room.
Please upload a zip archive containing all code and materials used for your contribution to the performance to the Google Drive Folder below by Monday, October 30 at 12:59pm.
