An interactive score turns the concert into a live-event of a very special kind:
The score is assembled on stage within an algorithmic realtime process based on mainly graphic notation. Performer and composer process an interactive score and exert mutual influence on it. Each performer or each group of performers has a computer on stage as an interactive score. Each computer can act independently but also as a swarm lead by an interactive conductor as the computers automatically link into a data exchange via WLAN. At any one time each computer can either be a conductor or taking orders. In addition to this a realtime computer system creates a constant stream of ambience in the electroacoustic space. An abstract visual processing of live cams as well as prepared material interact accordingly to the music. In this piece unfolds a thrilling art work of interactive composition within improvisational concepts and audiovisual realtime computer processes.
