Title: "F!#*Face" Live at BAX
Category: Performance
Year: 2010

Synopsis: This performance with Julie Fotheringham contains several sections depicting two characters in various emotional states and interactions, implied to be communicative and/or telecommunicative. The format of the performance is a structured improvisation; the approximate content and length of each section is predetermined but it's executed differently every time.

Production Notes: The projected images are grabbed live from two video cameras fed into a video mixer. When a note is played on the MIDI guitar, the computer captures a live frame from the camera feed and adds it to a repeating cycle of the 5 most recently captured frames. Futhermore, the velocity of the guitar notes controls the mix between the looping frames and a still frame (the most recently captured frame). As for the music, when the MIDI guitar is played two different sounds can be heard: firstly, percussion sounds on a synthesizer and the guitar (but pitch-shifted one octave higher).
