Electronics work in sound sculpture, live electronica, focused sound, performance and installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notable past projects include Rainforest IV, V and the NEA funded Focused Loudspeaker research.&nbsp; Elements interwoven with <em>Teasing Chaos <\/em>(MDM 2022), <em>Uncertain Territories<\/em> (Berlin, 2023), <em>Sensing the Future<\/em> at the Getty Research Institute \u2026 , and <em>A View From Inside: David Tudor at 100<\/em> produced by Bowerbird (Philadelphia), the Pantomation visual tracking system (DeWitt, Edelstein) from the 1970\u2019s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Possibly add other points of reference: E.A.T. 9 Evenings and Pavilion, Xenakis, Stockhausen, pipe organs, SPAT, GRM Acousmonium,&nbsp;

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proposition here is that Driscoll, Edelstein and others (E.g. Fishkin, Lopez) seek opportunities for ongoing and new work given our current circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are interested in works that utilize sound in motion as a structural spatialization element for composition, improvisation and orchestration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We explore here new works and adaptation of extent works that to date have relied on more traditional spatialization techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We see the opportunity for further development, construction and use of rotating loudspeaker instruments as applied to individual and group works.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As discussed in separate discussions with Driscoll, Edelstein and Lopez, we view the possibility of inviting others to use instruments we\u2019ve developed including others in our work and seeing these techniques and devices available to others.&nbsp; We hope this will encourage new instruments developed by others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have a portfolio of instruments coming out of works such as <em>Gestures &amp; Murmurations<\/em>, <em>Stall<\/em>, <em>Speaking in Tongues<\/em>,<em> Impulsions, Pepscillator<\/em> that invite such participation and evolution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have an initial set of techniques and design templates that support design, construction, and usage of these instruments by others as a continued avenue for collaboration.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Catalyst include John Driscoll&#8217;s refinements adapting DMX lighting instrument retrofitting and re-purposing for rotating loudspeakers.&nbsp; This has surfaced in the collaboration with Cecilia Lopez on <em>Gestures and Murmurations <\/em>; Edelstein has been applying some of the design and construction techniques and has been developing software in Max and Ableton Live to support orchestration of diverse moving and sonic elements.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of Feb 2026, with upcoming performances of David Tudor\u2019s <em>Pepscillator<\/em>, we are moving forward with using these instruments as the \u201crotating\u201d elements from Tudor\u2019s original description of the work as originally done at Pavilion 1970 Osaka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have long been looking for a framework to continue bringing to fruition the formative work of the NEA CIE 1977(date to be confirmed?) Focused Loudspeaker project at Media Studies Buffalo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These techniques also can be extended for application to acoustic kinetic sculptures for a new generation of works.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Materials_from_the_Archives\"><\/span>Using Materials from the Archives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have been involved in various archival initiatives of late with a recurring theme of using archives as living repositories to support current and future work in contrast to academic research facilities.&nbsp; Primary points of reference include the Tudor instrument collection at Wesleyan and archives at the Getty Research Institute (contact Nancy Perfoff) including: Tudor. E.A.T. the Kitchen and others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Descriptions\"><\/span>Descriptions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Residency_Description\"><\/span>Residency Description<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We seek residency opportunities to further research and develop sound in motion.&nbsp; This will be a combination of formal applications with venues and institutional support to be identified and a more informal set of meetups and interchanges as a familiar means of collaboration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key to residencies is finding appropriate space and accommodations and secondarily expenses and related logistics.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Workshop_Description\"><\/span>Workshop Description<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We seek to conduct a series of workshops based around design, building and utilization instruments capable of composing for&nbsp;

This uses a simple geometric proximity based flocking algorithm for speaker rotation and audio modulation.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Proxima<\/td><td>A new work by Phil Edelstein.<br>In which the proximity and orientation of the visitors and&nbsp;

There have been dozens of realizations and hundreds of performances by CIE and others.Rainforest IV continues to be actively realized and often used in college curriculums.<br>As originally conceived by Tudor, the work uses contact mic\u2019s and traditional loudspeakers to add an additional spatial element.&nbsp;<br>Let\u2019s consider the use of rotating loudspeakers as means of extending the spatialization&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Rainforest V<\/td><td>Principally Driscoll and Edelstein developed an edition of 4 of 20 objects each of a permanent installation version emphasize the visual and sonic opportunities, Rainfest V variations 1-4 are in the collection and shown at MdM Salzburg, MAC Lyon, Arter Istanbul and MOMA NY nominally 2015-2022.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>RF V departs from RF IV in that there is no use of traditional loudspeakers and contact mics.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Shrieks and Nuptials<\/td><td>A work by Phil Edelstein from 1976 using a human interface device to interact with a chaotic oscillator for two performers.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Slight Perturbations<\/td><td>An installation work by John Driscoll using visitor activated ultrasonic instruments.&nbsp;<br>Some of the slight perturbation instruments are in possession of Edelstein and with consultation with Driscoll, could be adapted for use with rotating loudspeakers for orchestration.&nbsp;Of particular interest is adapting Edelstein\u2019s techniques of switching between automation and interaction baked on human input.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Speaking in Tongues<\/td><td>A work by John Driscoll using ultrasonic feedback loop frequently performed by CIE.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Stall (1987?)<\/td><td>Choreography by Madie Whithers and musical accompaniment composed by John Driscoll using a large rotating loudspeaker as visual and compositional element. &nbsp;
