Improvisation for percussion duo and visuals using live processes with software troikatroniks isadora and max msp 7
​
Mexico City, Centro Nacional de las Artes, June 2018.
​
Result of a collaboration with the visual artist Nayeli Gutierrez.
The piece is related to the spread of bacteria in an appropriate environment and their interaction with other living beings.
​
In the piece, the two percussionists must interact with each other and try to emulate their partner's sounds gradually until they both reach a climax with the same sound material.
​
The programming in Max MSP 7 reacts to the sounds produced by the percussionists, taking into account the dynamics, the pitch and the rhythm of the sounds produced by the performers, this information is transmitted through a Wi-Fi connection to another computer that reinterprets the data using the Troikatroniks Isadora program transforming the projected image and reacting to the sounds played by the musicians.
