| Freestyle SoundKit is a wearable sound piece that generates and broadcasts electronic beats as users move through the urban environment. The piece consists of body-mounted sensors, an amplifier, a speaker and a sound chip. When the piece is engaged, each step you take is broadcast as a single beat. Each SoundKit contains a different beat to enable you to collaborate with other users to create a collaborative performance. Freestyle SoundKit enables people to use sound to create user-defined spaces that reference both the cinematic and the fantastic; where sonic space is activated through composition, improvisation and one-upmanship. This piece is a continuation of my interest in using sound to create collaborative situations that enable people to interact with their environment as both performer and audience. | During the Conflux, participants will be invited join me in a series of sonic interventions outside the gallery space. Possible interventions could include performative soundwalking, game playing or freestyle improvisation. There will be 4 Freestyle Soundkits available at the Conflux which will be traded back and forth as the performance progresses. | ||||
