This work presents a method for integrating computer visuals and sound with improvised percussion performances for media artists and performers.
This paper describes Strike on Stage, an audio-visual performance developed in 2010 that integrates computer visuals and sound into an improvised percussion performance. A computer vision system tracks performers' movements, allowing real-time responsive visualization and sonification.
This paper describes Strike on Stage, an interface and corresponding audio-visual performance work developed and performed in 2010 by percussionists and media artists Chi-Hsia Lai and Charles Martin. The concept of Strike on Stage is to integrate computer visuals and sound into an improvised percussion performance. A large projection surface is positioned directly behind the performers, while a computer vision system tracks their movements. The setup allows computer visualisation and sonification to be directly responsive and unified with the performers' gestures.
