SOMAPHONY is an audiovisual composition that can be played as an instrument and is embodied in a physical object representing the interface to the composition itself. The interface is built with our Instrumentarium for Audiovisual performance – SOMAPHONE – integrating generative music and visualization in one combined audio-visual instrument.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

SOMAPHONE is consisting of a movement and biofeedback wearable wireless controller and a Base Station \u2013 a compact computer-based device responsible for the musical and visual synthesis, offering 3D tracking of the performer’s hands and a visual feedback and control through its touchscreen.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One important aspect of our work on SOMAPHONY is the embodiment of a non-linear composition into a hardware\/software object in such a way that the performer can focus on articulation, intonation and remix, resulting in a musical and visual re-composition.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The project is focused on the interdependence between a digital instrument and a performer and how the performer can infuence the behaviour of the instrument with his\/her biofeedback signals and movement.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Antoni Rayzhekov is a Vienna based Intermedia artist born in Bulgaria. He studied theater directing at National Theater and Film Academy \u2013 Sofia, Jazz Music Improvisation at Vienna Konservatorium and Information Technologies at LearningTree, London, UK.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Katharina K\u00f6ller is an Austrian theater actress, performer and theater play writer. She studied Philosophy (MA, 2011) at the University of Vienna and Acting at Schauspielschule Krauss (BA, 2010) and is working as a free artist since 2011, in classical theater as well as in the field of contemporary performing arts.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

SOMAPHONY est une composition audiovisuelle qui peut \u00eatre jou\u00e9e comme d’un instrument ou incarn\u00e9e comme une composition physique. L’interface est bas\u00e9e sur un instrumentarium pour performance audiovisuelle \u2013 SOMAPHONE \u2013 et int\u00e8gre un g\u00e9n\u00e9rateur musical et de visualisations combin\u00e9s dans un instrument audiovisuel.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

SOMAPHONE consiste en un syst\u00e8me de contr\u00f4le sans-fil reli\u00e9 \u00e0 une station et qui traite les donn\u00e9es relatives aux mouvements et \u00e0 l’organisme (biofeedback) de celui qui le porte. Ce syst\u00e8me, bas\u00e9 sur ordinateur, cr\u00e9e des visualisations et des g\u00e9n\u00e9rations visuelles li\u00e9es \u00e0 un rep\u00e9rage 3D des mains du performeur et un retour visuel \u00e0 travers le casque.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

L’aspect important du travail r\u00e9alis\u00e9 sur SOMAPHONY est l’incarnation d’une composition non-lin\u00e9aire et sans cesse renouvel\u00e9e d’une mani\u00e8re qui permet au performeur de se concentrer sur l’articulation, l’intonation et le mouvement afin de composer et re-composer \u00e0 l’infini.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Antoni Rayzhekov est un artiste interm\u00e9dia n\u00e9 en Bulgarie et maintenant install\u00e9 \u00e0 Vienne, Autriche.
