A live synth score over FM radio, for one walker on a mountain trail
An audience of one, walking the Hoodoos trail in Banff. I played the score live from the Banff Centre's Radio90 studio on a Yamaha AN200 (sine waves, oscillators, LFOs) and broadcast it to the walker's FM-radio phone. Their GPS position came back to the studio, so I could shape the score to where they were, how fast they walked and how hard that stretch of trail was. If they sat down, the score changed. They wore open-air headphones, so they could still hear bears.
My short name for it was CSdoubleW.
One loop: the score goes out over FM, the walker's position comes back over GPS, and the score answers.
It was accepted for the Banff New Media Institute's "Almost Perfect" residency in 2008, and I performed it about eight times. The GPS link worked intermittently: at times the mountains got in the way. No recordings survived, so the piece exists now as this description.
From the 2008 proposal
This is an exploration in telepresence: a dialogue between two people via machine.
