Limbó Finissage: Sonic Baton
Have you ever wondered what it might be like to conduct music and feel the sound change with your gesture? The Sonic Baton is an intelligent instrument that makes the art of conducting accessible to anyone for a try. Using Artificial Intelligence based on multiple sound data files, the sonic baton provides a variety of sound responses based on the position, speed, and direction that the baton moves - just like conducting.
Majella Clarke will perform a score May the Whole Universe, by Bergþóra Ægisdóttir.
A short performance and demo using three Sonic Batons will be introduced by the team behind its development. The team will then facilitate the conducting experience with the public - come and try!
The Sonic Baton is part of a research and performance collaboration between Majella Clarke, conductor, and student at the University of Arts Iceland, with Nicola Privato, Sean Patrick O'Brien and Vicktor Shepardson from the Intelligent Instruments Lab. The intelligent instruments lab is an interdisciplinary research lab, based at the University of Arts Iceland, that investigates the role of artificial intelligence in new musical instruments.
